I, the LORD, promise that there will always be a descendant of David to be king of Israel

(The following clans of experts in writing and copying documents lived in the town of Jabez: the Tirathites, Shimeathites, and Sucathites. They were Kenites who had intermarried with the Rechabites.)

To this the LORD replied, "If you return, I will take you back, and you will be my servant again. If instead of talking nonsense you proclaim a worthwhile message, you will be my prophet again. The people will come back to you, and you will not need to go to them.

I, the LORD, promise that there will always be a descendant of David to be king of Israel

and that there will always be priests from the tribe of Levi to serve me and to offer burnt offerings, grain offerings, and sacrifices."

You cannot stand the sight of the proud; you hate all wicked people.

Be on watch and pray always that you will have the strength to go safely through all those things that will happen and to stand before the Son of Man."

To him who is able to keep you from falling and to bring you faultless and joyful before his glorious presence---
