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]
