(C)in the house of his servant David,
70 (D)as (E)he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old,
71 (F)that we should be saved from our enemies
and from the hand of all who hate us;

The Mountain of the Lord
4 It shall come to pass (A)in the latter days
that the mountain of the house of the Lord
shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
and it shall be lifted up above the hills;
and peoples shall flow to it,
2 and many nations shall come, and say:
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob,
that he may teach us his ways
and that we may walk in his paths.”
For out of Zion shall go forth the law,[a]

Jeremiah 33:20-26
English Standard Version
20 (A)“Thus says the Lord: (B)If you can break my covenant with the day and my covenant with the night, (C)so that day and night will not come at their appointed time, 21 (D)then also my covenant with David my servant may be broken, so that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne, and my covenant with the Levitical priests my ministers. 22 As (E)the host of heaven cannot be numbered and (F)the sands of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply the offspring of David my servant, and the Levitical priests who minister to me.”
23 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 24 “Have you not observed that these people are saying, ‘The Lord has rejected the two clans that he chose’? Thus they have despised my people so that they are no longer a nation in their sight. 25 Thus says the Lord: (G)If I have not established my covenant with day and night and the fixed order of heaven and earth, 26 then I will reject the offspring of Jacob and David my servant and will not choose one of his offspring to rule over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. (H)For I will restore their fortunes and will have mercy on them.”
