10 And I will provide a place for my people Israel and will plant(A) them so that they can have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed.(B) Wicked(C) people will not oppress them anymore,(D) as they did at the beginning 11 and have done ever since the time I appointed leaders[a](E) over my people Israel. I will also give you rest from all your enemies.(F)

“‘The Lord declares(G) to you that the Lord himself will establish(H) a house(I) for you: 12 When your days are over and you rest(J) with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood,(K) and I will establish his kingdom.(L) 13 He is the one who will build a house(M) for my Name,(N) and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.(O) 14 I will be his father, and he will be my son.(P) When he does wrong, I will punish him(Q) with a rod(R) wielded by men, with floggings inflicted by human hands. 15 But my love will never be taken away from him,(S) as I took it away from Saul,(T) whom I removed from before you. 16 Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me[b]; your throne(U) will be established(V) forever.(W)’”

10 Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,

11 And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house.

12 And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.

14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:

15 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.

16 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
