Thus says the Lord God: Yet [for] this will I be sought by the house of Israel, to establish them; I will multiply them, [even] men as sheep;

You are My friends if you do what I command you.

No longer do I call you servants, because a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, because all things which I heard from My Father I have made known to you.

then will I establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, There shall not fail you a man ruling in Israel.

And it shall come to pass when your days have been fulfilled, and you sleep with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, even from your own body, and I will establish his kingdom.

I will be to him a father, and he shall be to Me a son. And when he happens to transgress, then will I chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men.

And his house shall be made sure, and his kingdom forever before Me, and his throne shall be established forever.

that the Lord may confirm His word which He spoke, saying, If your children shall take heed to their way to walk before Me in truth with all their heart, [I promise you], saying, there shall not fail you a man on the throne of Israel.

[This translation omits this verse.]

If your children will keep My covenant, and these My testimonies which I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon your throne forever.

For Your mercy is before my eyes; and I am well pleased with Your truth.

Alleluia. Blessed are the blameless in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.
