The Lord's Eternal Covenant with David

14 (A)“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when (B)I will fulfill the promise I made to the house of Israel and the house of Judah. 15 In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous (C)Branch to spring up for David, and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. 16 In those days Judah will be saved, (D)and Jerusalem will dwell securely. And this is the name by which it will be called: (E)‘The Lord is our righteousness.’

17 “For thus says the Lord: (F)David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel, 18 (G)and the Levitical priests shall never lack a man in my presence to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings, and to make sacrifices forever.”

    he will do what is just and right in the land.
16 In those days Judah will be saved(E)
    and Jerusalem will live in safety.(F)
This is the name by which it[a] will be called:(G)
    The Lord Our Righteous Savior.’(H)

17 For this is what the Lord says: ‘David will never fail(I) to have a man to sit on the throne of Israel, 18 nor will the Levitical(J) priests(K) ever fail to have a man to stand before me continually to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings and to present sacrifices.(L)’”
