And I will afflict the seed of David because of this, but not for all time.

But My mercy shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.

And your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before you. Your throne shall be established forever.

I will be his Father, and he shall be My son; and I will not take My mercy away from him, as I took it from him who was before you.

And I will establish him in My house and in My kingdom forever; and his throne shall be established forever.

Nevertheless in My lovingkindness I will not crush him, nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.

Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David:

it shall be established forever like the moon, a faithful witness in the clouds. Selah

But I have taken the kingdom out of his son's hand and given it to you; ten tribes.

And to his son I will give one tribe, that My servant David may always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for Myself, to put My name there.

And it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had come back, that they sent for him and called him to the congregation, and made him king over all Israel. There was no one who followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.

Therefore Jehovah said to Solomon, Because you have done this, and have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have charged you, I will rend to tear the kingdom away from you, and have given it to your servant.

Nevertheless I will not do it in your days, for the sake of your father David; I shall tear it out of the hand of your son.

(but he shall have one tribe for the sake of My servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel),

It is not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart that you are going in to possess their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations that Jehovah your God is driving them out before you, and that He may fulfill the word which Jehovah has sworn to your fathers; to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

But Jehovah was gracious to them, had compassion on them, and regarded them, because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not yet destroy them or cast them from His presence.

For I have defended this city, to save it for My own sake and for My servant David's sake.

O Lord, where are Your former lovingkindnesses which You swore unto David in Your faithfulness?

i1 [A Song of Ascents.] i0 par O Jehovah, remember David and all his afflictions;

There will I make the horn of David sprout; I have set in place a lamp for My anointed.

Of the increase of His government and peace upon the throne of David there will be no end; and upon His kingdom, to order it and to establish it with judgment and with justice from now on, even forever. The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts will accomplish this.

For thus says Jehovah, David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel,

And the Word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, saying,

then also may My covenant with David My servant be broken, that he should not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levites the priests, My ministers.

Moreover the Word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, saying,

Thus says Jehovah: If My covenant is not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of the heavens and the earth,

He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to Him the throne of His father David.

And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.

But you shall regularly seek out the place where Jehovah your God chooses, out of all your tribes, to put His name for His dwelling place; and there you shall go.

then there shall be the place which Jehovah your God will choose to establish His name. There you shall bring all that I am commanding you: your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the heave offerings of your hand, and all your choice offerings which you vow unto Jehovah.

He also built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which Jehovah had said, In Jerusalem I will put My name.

And Jehovah said, I will also remove Judah from before My face, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I had said, My name shall be there.

For Jehovah has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place.

This is My continual resting place; here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That Jehovah has founded Zion, and the poor of His people shall take refuge in it.

For Zion's sake I will not be silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until its righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a burning lamp.

And give Him no rest until He establishes and makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

In those days, and at that time, I will cause the Branch of Righteousness to grow up to David; and He shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.

In those days Judah shall be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely. And this is the name by which she shall be called: JEHOVAH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
