¹⁹ Nevertheless, for the sake of his servant David, the Lord was not willing to destroy^(A) Judah. He had promised to maintain a lamp^(B) for David and his descendants forever.

³⁶ I will give one tribe^(A) to his son so that David my servant may always have a lamp^(B) before me in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to put my Name.

³² He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.^(A) The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,^{(B) 33} and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom^(C) will never end.”^(D)

²⁵ This is what the Lord says: ‘If I have not made my covenant with day and night^(A) and established the laws^(B) of heaven and earth,^{(C) 26} then I will reject^(D) the descendants of Jacob^(E) and David my servant and will not choose one of his sons to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes^[a](F) and have compassion^(G) on them.’”

¹⁴ Therefore the Lord himself will give you^[a] a sign:^(A) The virgin^[b](B) will conceive and give birth to a son,^(C) and^[c] will call him Immanuel.^[d](D)
