Context Readings

God's Covenant With David

16 In those days is Judah saved, And Jerusalem doth dwell confidently, And this is he whom Jehovah proclaimeth to her: 'Our Righteousness.' 17 For thus said Jehovah: 'Not cut off to David is one sitting on the throne of the house of Israel, 18 And to the priests -- the Levites, Not cut off from before Me is one, Causing a burnt-offering to ascend, And perfuming a present, and making sacrifice -- all the days.'
