Now it came to pass, as DavidH1732 satH3427 in his houseH1004, that DavidH1732 saidH559 to NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, Lo, I dwellH3427 in an houseH1004 of cedarsH730, but the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 remaineth under curtainsH3407.
Then NathanH5416 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, DoH6213 all that is in thine heartH3824; for GodH430 is with thee.
And it came to pass the same nightH3915, that the wordH1697 of GodH430 came to NathanH5416, sayingH559,
GoH3212 and tellH559 DavidH1732 my servantH5650, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Thou shalt not buildH1129 me an houseH1004 to dwell inH3427:
For I have not dwelt inH3427 an houseH1004 since the dayH3117 that I brought upH5927 IsraelH3478 unto this dayH3117; but have gone from tentH168 to tentH168, and from one tabernacleH4908 to another. {have gone: Heb. have been}
Wheresoever I have walkedH1980 with all IsraelH3478, spakeH1696 I a wordH1697 to anyH259 of the judgesH8199 of IsraelH3478, whom I commandedH6680 to feedH7462 my peopleH5971, sayingH559, Why have ye not builtH1129 me an houseH1004 of cedarsH730?
Now therefore thus shalt thou sayH559 unto my servantH5650 DavidH1732, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, I tookH3947 thee from the sheepcoteH5116, even from followingH310 the sheepH6629, that thou shouldest be rulerH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: {from following: Heb. from after}
And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walkedH1980, and have cut offH3772 all thine enemiesH341 from beforeH6440 thee, and have madeH6213 thee a nameH8034 like the nameH8034 of the great menH1419 that are in the earthH776.
Also I will ordainH7760 a placeH4725 for my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and will plantH5193 them, and they shall dwellH7931 in their place, and shall be movedH7264 no more; neither shall the childrenH1121 of wickednessH5766 wasteH1086 them any moreH3254, as at the beginningH7223,
And since the timeH3117 that I commandedH6680 judgesH8199 to be over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. Moreover I will subdueH3665 all thine enemiesH341. Furthermore I tellH5046 thee that the LORDH3068 will buildH1129 thee an houseH1004.
And it shall come to pass, when thy daysH3117 be expiredH4390 that thou must goH3212 to be with thy fathersH1, that I will raise upH6965 thy seedH2233 afterH310 thee, which shall be of thy sonsH1121; and I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4438.
He shall buildH1129 me an houseH1004, and I will stablishH3559 his throneH3678 forH5704 everH5769.
I will be his fatherH1, and he shall be my sonH1121: and I will not takeH5493 my mercyH2617 awayH5493 from him, as I tookH5493 it from him that was beforeH6440 thee:
But I will settleH5975 him in mine houseH1004 and in my kingdomH4438 for everH5769: and his throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 forH5704 evermoreH5769.
According to all these wordsH1697, and according to all this visionH2377, so did NathanH5416 speakH1696 unto DavidH1732.
And DavidH1732 the kingH4428 cameH935 and satH3427 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, Who am I, O LORDH3068 GodH430, and what is mine houseH1004, that thou hast broughtH935 me hithertoH1988?
And yet this was a small thingH6994 in thine eyesH5869, O GodH430; for thou hast also spokenH1696 of thy servant'sH5650 houseH1004 for a great while to comeH7350, and hast regardedH7200 me according to the estateH8448 of a manH120 of high degreeH4609, O LORDH3068 GodH430.
What canH3254 DavidH1732 speak moreH3254 to thee for the honourH3519 of thy servantH5650? for thou knowestH3045 thy servantH5650.
O LORDH3068, for thy servant'sH5650 sake, and according to thine own heartH3820, hast thou doneH6213 all this greatnessH1420, in making knownH3045 all these great thingsH1420. {great…: Heb. greatnesses}
O LORDH3068, there is none like thee, neither is there any GodH430 besideH2108 thee, according to all that we have heardH8085 with our earsH241.
And what oneH259 nationH1471 in the earthH776 is like thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, whom GodH430 wentH1980 to redeemH6299 to be his own peopleH5971, to makeH7760 thee a nameH8034 of greatnessH1420 and terriblenessH3372, by driving outH1644 nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 thy peopleH5971, whom thou hast redeemedH6299 out of EgyptH4714?
For thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 didst thou makeH5414 thine own peopleH5971 forH5704 everH5769; and thou, LORDH3068, becamest their GodH430.
Therefore now, LORDH3068, let the thingH1697 that thou hast spokenH1696 concerning thy servantH5650 and concerning his houseH1004 be establishedH539 forH5704 everH5769, and doH6213 as thou hast saidH1696.
Let it even be establishedH539, that thy nameH8034 may be magnifiedH1431 forH5704 everH5769, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, even a GodH430 to IsraelH3478: and let the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 thy servantH5650 be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 thee.
For thou, O my GodH430, hast toldH1540+H241 thy servantH5650 that thou wilt buildH1129 him an houseH1004: therefore thy servantH5650 hath foundH4672 in his heart to prayH6419 beforeH6440 thee. {hast…: Heb. hast revealed the ear of thy servant}
And now, LORDH3068, thou art GodH430, and hast promisedH1696 this goodnessH2896 unto thy servantH5650:
Now therefore let it pleaseH2974 thee to blessH1288 the houseH1004 of thy servantH5650, that it may be beforeH6440 thee for everH5769: for thou blessestH1288, O LORDH3068, and it shall be blessedH1288 for everH5769. {let…: or, it hath pleased thee}

And I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 between me and thee and thy seedH2233 after theeH310 in their generationsH1755 for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285, to be a GodH430 unto thee, and to thy seedH2233 after theeH310.
Now therefore, if ye will obeyH8085 my voiceH6963 indeedH8085, and keepH8104 my covenantH1285, then ye shall be a peculiar treasureH5459 unto me above all peopleH5971: for all the earthH776 is mine:
And ye shall be unto me a kingdomH4467 of priestsH3548, and an holyH6918 nationH1471. These are the wordsH1697 which thou shalt speakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
For thou art an holyH6918 peopleH5971 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath chosenH977 thee to be a specialH5459 peopleH5971 unto himself, above all peopleH5971 that are upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127.
The LORDH3068 did not set his loveH2836 upon you, nor chooseH977 you, because ye were moreH7230 in number than any peopleH5971; for ye were the fewestH4592 of all peopleH5971:
But because the LORDH3068 lovedH160 you, and because he would keepH8104 the oathH7621 which he had swornH7650 unto your fathersH1, hath the LORDH3068 brought you outH3318 with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and redeemedH6299 you out of the houseH1004 of bondmenH5650, from the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714.
And the LORDH3068 hath avouchedH559 thee this dayH3117 to be his peculiarH5459 peopleH5971, as he hath promisedH1696 thee, and that thou shouldest keepH8104 all his commandmentsH4687;
And to makeH5414 thee highH5945 above all nationsH1471 which he hath madeH6213, in praiseH8416, and in nameH8034, and in honourH8597; and that thou mayest be an holyH6918 peopleH5971 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, as he hath spokenH1696.
For the LORDH3068 will not forsakeH5203 his peopleH5971 for his greatH1419 name'sH8034 sake: because it hath pleasedH2974 the LORDH3068 to makeH6213 you his peopleH5971.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will makeH3772 a newH2319 covenantH1285 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and with the houseH1004 of JudahH3063:
Not according to the covenantH1285 that I madeH3772 with their fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I tookH2388 them by the handH3027 to bring them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714; which my covenantH1285 they brakeH6565, although I was an husbandH1166 unto them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: {although…: or, should I have continued an husband unto them?}
But this shall be the covenantH1285 that I will makeH3772 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; AfterH310 those daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, I will putH5414 my lawH8451 in their inward partsH7130, and writeH3789 it in their heartsH3820; and will be their GodH430, and they shall be my peopleH5971.
And they shall teachH3925 no more every manH376 his neighbourH7453, and every manH376 his brotherH251, sayingH559, KnowH3045 the LORDH3068: for they shall all knowH3045 me, from the leastH6996 of them unto the greatestH1419 of them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: for I will forgiveH5545 their iniquityH5771, and I will rememberH2142 their sinH2403 no more.
And I will bringH935 the third partH7992 through the fireH784, and will refineH6884 them as silverH3701 is refinedH6884, and will tryH974 them as goldH2091 is triedH974: they shall callH7121 on my nameH8034, and I will hearH6030 them: I will sayH559, It is my peopleH5971: and they shall sayH559, The LORDH3068 is my GodH430.
WhoG3748 areG1526 IsraelitesG2475; to whomG3739 pertaineth the adoptionG5206, andG2532 the gloryG1391, andG2532 the covenantsG1242, andG2532 the giving of the lawG3548, andG2532 the serviceG2999 of God, andG2532 the promisesG1860; {covenants: or, testaments}
WhoseG3739 are the fathersG3962, andG2532 ofG1537 whomG3739 as concerningG2596 the fleshG4561 ChristG5547 came, whoG5607 is overG1909 allG3956, GodG2316 blessedG2128 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281.
NotG3756 asG3634 thoughG1161+G3754 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 hath taken none effectG1601. ForG1063 they are notG3756 allG3956+G1537 IsraelG2474, whichG3588+G3778 are of IsraelG2474:
As he saithG3004 alsoG2532 inG1722 OseeG5617, I will callG2564 them myG3450 peopleG2992, which were notG3756 myG3450 peopleG2992; andG2532 her belovedG25, which wasG25 notG3756 belovedG25.
AndG2532 it shall come to passG2071, that inG1722 the placeG5117 whereG3757+G3739 it was saidG4483 unto themG846, YeG5210 are notG3756 myG3450 peopleG2992; thereG1563 shall they be calledG2564 the childrenG5207 of the livingG2198 GodG2316.
I sayG3004 thenG3767+G3361, HathG683 GodG2316 cast awayG683 hisG846 peopleG2992? God forbidG3361+G1096. ForG1063 IG1473 alsoG2532 amG1510 an IsraeliteG2475, ofG1537 the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11, of the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958.
GodG2316 hathG683 notG3756 cast awayG683 hisG846 peopleG2992 whichG3739 he foreknewG4267+G2228. Wot yeG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 the scriptureG1124 saithG3004 ofG1722 EliasG2243? howG5613 he maketh intercessionG1793 to GodG2316 againstG2596 IsraelG2474, sayingG3004, {of Elias: Gr. in Elias?}
LordG2962, they have killedG615 thyG4675 prophetsG4396, andG2532 digged downG2679 thineG4675 altarsG2379; and IG2504 am leftG5275 aloneG3441, andG2532 they seekG2212 myG3450 lifeG5590.
ButG235 whatG5101 saithG3004 the answer of GodG5538 unto himG846? I have reservedG2641 to myselfG1683 seven thousandG2035 menG435, whoG3748 haveG2578 notG3756 bowedG2578 the kneeG1119 to the image of BaalG896.
Even soG3779 thenG3767 atG1722 this presentG3568 timeG2540 alsoG2532 there isG1096 a remnantG3005 accordingG2596 to the electionG1589 of graceG5485.
AndG1161 ifG1487 by graceG5485, then is it no moreG2089+G3765 ofG1537 worksG2041: otherwiseG1893 graceG5485 isG1096 no moreG2089+G3765 graceG5485. ButG1161 ifG1487 it be ofG1537 worksG2041, then is itG2076 no moreG2089+G3765 graceG5485: otherwiseG1893 workG2041 isG2076 no moreG2089+G3765 workG2041.
WhatG5101 thenG3767? IsraelG2474 hathG2013 notG3756 obtainedG2013 thatG5127 whichG3739 he seeketh forG1934; butG1161 the electionG1589 hath obtained itG2013, andG1161 the restG3062 were blindedG4456 {blinded: or, hardened}
(According asG2531 it is writtenG1125, GodG2316 hath givenG1325 themG846 the spiritG4151 of slumberG2659, eyesG3788 that they shouldG991 notG3361 seeG991, andG2532 earsG3775 that they shouldG191 notG3361 hearG191;) untoG2193 thisG4594 dayG2250. {slumber: or, remorse}
AndG2532 DavidG1138 saithG3004, LetG1096 theirG846 tableG5132 be madeG1096 a snareG1519+G3803, andG2532 a trapG1519+G2339, andG2532 a stumblingblockG1519+G4625, andG2532 a recompenceG1519+G468 unto themG846:
LetG4654 theirG846 eyesG3788 be darkenedG4654, that they mayG991 notG3361 seeG991, andG2532 bow downG4781 theirG846 backG3577 alwayG1275.
I sayG3004 thenG3767+G3361, Have they stumbledG4417 thatG2443 they should fallG4098? God forbidG3361+G1096: butG235 rather through theirG846 fallG3900 salvationG4991 is come unto the GentilesG1484, for toG1519 provokeG3863 themG846 to jealousyG3863.
NowG1161 ifG1487 the fallG3900 of themG846 be the richesG4149 of the worldG2889, andG2532 the diminishingG2275 of themG846 the richesG4149 of the GentilesG1484; howG4214 much moreG3123 theirG846 fulnessG4138? {diminishing: or, decay, or, loss}
ButG1161 yeG5210 are a chosenG1588 generationG1085, a royalG934 priesthoodG2406, an holyG40 nationG1484, a peculiarG1519+G4047 peopleG2992; thatG3704 ye should shew forthG1804 the praisesG703 of him who hath calledG2564 youG5209 out ofG1537 darknessG4655 intoG1519 hisG846 marvellousG2298 lightG5457: {peculiar: or, purchased} {praises: or, virtues}
