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),

I will make of you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing.

And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot had dwelt.

because Abraham has obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.

And because He has loved your fathers, therefore He chose their seed after them and brought you out of Egypt before Him with His mighty power,

When your days are fulfilled and you have rested with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.

I will be his Father, and he shall be My son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the strokes of the sons of men.

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

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

Thus says Jehovah: If you can break My covenant of the day and My covenant of the night, so that there should not be day and night in their season,

As the host of the heavens cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured, so I will multiply the seed of David My servant and the Levites who serve Me.

Do you not consider what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which Jehovah has chosen, He has even cast them off? Thus they have despised My people, that they should no more be a nation before them.

then I will cast away the seed of Jacob, and David My servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will bring back their captives, and have mercy on them.

Indeed, concerning the gospel they are enemies because of you, but concerning the election they are beloved because of the fathers.

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.

Yet Jehovah would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that He had made with David, and since He had promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons forever.

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

and raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David,

Deliverance from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us,

the oath which He swore to our father Abraham:

in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.

to give knowledge of salvation to His people by the remission of their sins,

to give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

a Light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the Glory of Your people Israel.

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life.

I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify these things to you, to the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.

For You will light my lamp; Jehovah my God will cause my darkness to shine.

And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man have been born in her; and the Most High shall establish her.

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.

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.

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

Thus says Jehovah the Maker, Jehovah who formed it in order to establish it; Jehovah is His name:

But it shall be in the latter days, that the mountain of the house of Jehovah shall be established on the top of the mountains; and it shall be lifted up above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it.

And many nations shall come and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, and to the house of the God of Jacob. And He will teach us His ways, and we will walk in His paths. For the Law shall go forth out of Zion, and the Word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.

And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this Rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against It.
