The Davidic Kingdom

24 “And My servant (A)David will be king over them, and they will all have (B)one shepherd; and they will walk in My ordinances, and keep My statutes and [a]follow them. 25 And they will live on the land that I gave to My servant Jacob, in which your fathers lived; and they will live on it, they, and their sons and their sons’ sons, forever; and My servant (C)David will be their leader forever. 26 And I will make a (D)covenant of peace with them; it will be an (E)everlasting covenant with them. And I will [b]place them and (F)multiply them, and set My (G)sanctuary in their midst forever. 27 My (H)dwelling place also will be among them; and (I)I will be their God, and they will be My people. 28 And the nations will know that I am the Lord (J)who sanctifies Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forever.”’”

Woe, for that (A)day is great,
There is (B)none like it;
And it is the time of Jacob’s (C)distress,
Yet he will be (D)saved from it.

But they shall serve the Lord their God and (H)David their king, whom I will raise up for them.

    ‘I will break the yoke(D) off their necks
and will tear off their bonds;(E)
    no longer will foreigners enslave them.(F)
Instead, they will serve the Lord their God

    whom I will raise up for them.
