¹⁶ And when you have multiplied and grown numerous in the land, says the Lord, they will no longer say in those days, “The Ark of the Covenant of the Lord.” They will no longer think of it, or remember it, or realize that it is gone, or make another.

¹⁷ When that time comes, Jerusalem will be called the throne of the Lord, and all the nations will gather in Jerusalem to honor the name of the Lord. No longer will they stubbornly follow their own evil inclinations.

²⁷ I will make my dwelling with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people.

²⁸ Then the nations will know that I, the Lord, sanctify Israel when I establish my sanctuary among them forevermore.
