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.’

⁹ For ^(A)what thanksgiving can we return to God for you, for all the joy that we feel for your sake before our God, ¹⁰ as we pray most earnestly ^(B)night and day ^(C)that we may see you face to face and ^(D)supply what is lacking in your faith?

¹¹ Now may ^(E)our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, ^(F)direct our way to you, ¹² and may the Lord ^(G)make you increase and abound in love ^(H)for one another and for all, as we do for you, ¹³ so that he may ^(I)establish your hearts blameless in holiness before ^(J)our God and Father, at ^(K)the coming of our Lord Jesus ^(L)with all his saints.
