The Lord's Wonderful Promise

14 (A) The Lord said:

I made a wonderful promise to Israel and Judah,[a] and the days are coming when I will keep it.

15 I promise that the time will come
when I will appoint a king
    from the family of David,
a king who will be honest
    and rule with justice.
16 In those days,
    Judah will be safe;
Jerusalem will have peace
and will be named,
    “The Lord Gives Justice.”
