Ezekiel 37:24-28
New English Translation
24 “‘My servant David will be king over them; there will be one shepherd for all of them. They will follow[a] my regulations and carefully observe my statutes.[b] 25 They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, in which your fathers lived; they will live in it—they and their children and their grandchildren forever. David my servant will be prince over them forever. 26 I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be a perpetual covenant with them.[c] I will establish them,[d] increase their numbers, and place my sanctuary among them forever. 27 My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people. 28 Then, when my sanctuary is among them forever, the nations will know that I, the Lord, sanctify Israel.’”[e]

24 “‘“And my servant David will be king over them, and one shepherd will be for all of them, and in my regulations they will go, and my statutes they will observe, and they will do them. 25 And they will dwell on the land that I gave to my servant, to Jacob, in which your ancestors dwelled,[a] and they will dwell on it, they and their children and the children of their children forever,[b] and my servant David will be a leader for them forever.[c] 26 And I will make with them a covenant of peace; an everlasting covenant[d] it will be with them. And I will establish them, and I will cause them to increase, and I will put my sanctuary in the midst of them forever.[e] 27 And my tabernacle will be with them, and I will be for them as God, and they will be to me as a nation. 28 And the nations will know that I, Yahweh, am consecrating Israel when my sanctuary is in the midst of them forever.”’”[f]
