4“GoH1980 and tellH559 DavidH1732 My servantH5650, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “1You shall not buildH1129 a houseH1004 for Me to dwellH3427 in; 5for I have not dweltH3427 in a houseH1004 sinceH4480 the dayH3117 that I broughtH5927 upH5927 IsraelH3478 to thisH2088 dayH3117, 2but I have 3goneH1961 from tentH168 to tentH168 and from one dwellingH4908 placeH4908 to another. 6In allH3605 places whereH834 I have walkedH1980 with allH3605 IsraelH3478, have I spokenH1696 a wordH1697 4with anyH259 of the judgesH8199 of IsraelH3478, whomH834 I commandedH6680 to shepherdH7462 My peopleH5971, sayingH559, ‘WhyH4100 have you not builtH1129 Me a houseH1004 of cedarH730?’”’ 7NowH6258, therefore, thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 you shall sayH559 to My servantH5650 DavidH1732: ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 saysH559: “I tookH3947 you from the pastureH5116, from followingH310 the sheepH6629, to be leaderH5057 overH5921 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. 8I have beenH1961 with you whereverH3605H834 you have goneH1980, and have eliminatedH3772 allH3605 your enemiesH340 from you; and I will makeH6213 for you a nameH8034 like the nameH8034 of the greatH1419 onesH1419 whoH834 are on the earthH776. 9And I will appointH7760 a placeH4725 for My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and will plantH5193 them there, so that they may liveH7931 inH7931 their own placeH8478 and not trembleH7264 with anxiety againH5750; and the 5wickedH5767H1121 will not makeH1086 them wasteH1086 awayH1086 anymoreH3254 as they did previouslyH7223, 10even from the dayH3117 that I commandedH6680 judgesH8199 to be overH5921 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. And I will subdueH3665 allH3605 your enemiesH340.

Moreover, I tellH5046 you that the LordH3068 will buildH1129 a houseH1004 for you. 11WhenH3588 your daysH3117 are fulfilledH4390 that you must 6goH1980 to be with your fathersH1, then I will setH6965 upH6965 one of your 7descendantsH2233 afterH310 you, whoH834 will be from your sonsH1121; and I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4438. 12He shall buildH1129 for Me a houseH1004, and I will establishH3559 his throneH3678 foreverH5704H5769. 138I will be his fatherH1 and he shall be My sonH1121; and I will not takeH5493 My favorH2617 awayH5493 from him, 9as I tookH5493 it from him whoH834 was beforeH6440 you. 14But I will settleH3427 him in My houseH1004 and in My kingdomH4438 foreverH5704H5769, and his throneH3678 will be establishedH3559 foreverH5704H5769.”’”
