In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:

That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.

And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house.

He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.

But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.

So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.

Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.

Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.

Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?

Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.

Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent:

And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it.

And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.

But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
