Israel's Holy God and Savior says to the one who is deeply despised, hated by the nations and is the servant of rulers: Kings will see you released and will rise to show their respect. Princes will also see it and they will bow low to honor you.

You are a holy people to Jehovah your God. Jehovah your God has chosen you to be his own special people out of all the nations of the earth. Jehovah set his heart on you. He chose you, even though you did not outnumber all the other people. You were the smallest of all nations. You were chosen because Jehovah loved you and kept the oath he swore to your fathers. So he used his mighty hand to bring you out. He freed you from slavery under Pharaoh king of Egypt.

However you, O Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, you descendants of Abraham, my friend, I took you from the ends of the earth. I called you from its farthest corners. I said: 'You are my servant. I have chosen you and have not rejected you. Do not fear for I am with you! Do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.'

King David stood there and said: Listen to me relatives (brothers and sisters) and subjects. I had my heart set on building the Temple where the Ark of Jehovah's Covenant could be placed. This Temple will be a stool for our God's feet, and I have made preparations to build it. However God told me: 'You must not build the Temple for my name because you have fought wars and caused bloodshed.' Yet, from my entire family Jehovah God of Israel chose me to be king of Israel for as long as I live. He had chosen the tribe of Judah to lead Israel. From the families of Judah he chose my father's family. From among my father's sons he was pleased to make me king over all Israel. read more.
Of all my sons, for Jehovah has given me many sons, he has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of Jehovah's kingdom to rule Israel. He told me: 'Your son Solomon will build my Temple and my courtyards because I have chosen him to be my son. I will be his father. I will establish his kingdom for a very long time if he will remain determined to obey my commands and laws, as he is doing today.'

This was shown to you that you might know that JEHOVAH IS GOD! THERE IS NO ONE BESIDES HIM! He made you hear his voice out of heaven. That way he could instruct (teach) (correct) (discipline) you. He showed you his great fire on the earth. You heard his words from the middle of the fire. He loved your fathers. Therefore he chose their descendants. In fact he watched over you and he brought you out of Egypt with his mighty power. read more.
He drove out nations far greater than you so that he could bring you in and give you their land as an inheritance as it is today.

Seek Jehovah and seek his strength. Seek his presence constantly! Remember the marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth. You seed of Abraham his servant, you children of Jacob his chosen ones.

Jehovah has chosen Zion. He wants it for his home. This will be my resting place forever. Here I will sit enthroned because I want Zion. I will greatly bless all that Zion needs. I will satisfy its needy people with food.

Jehovah makes a path through the sea and a road through the strong currents. He leads chariots and horses, an army and reinforcements. They lie down together and do not get up again. They are extinguished and snuffed out like a wick. This is what Jehovah says: Forget what happened in the past, and do not dwell on events from long ago. read more.
I am going to do something new. It is already happening. Do you recognize it? I will clear a way in the desert. I will make rivers on dry land. Wild animals, jackals, and ostriches will honor me. I will provide water in the desert. I will make rivers on the dry land for my chosen people to drink. I have formed these people for myself. They will praise me.

Listen, O Jacob, my servant, Listen Israel, whom I have chosen. This is what Jehovah says, the one who made you, who formed you in the womb, and who will help you: 'Do not be afraid, O Jacob, my servant, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.


Look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth. When I called him he was only one. I blessed him and made him many.

It is not because they are Abraham's that they are all children, but: What will be called 'your seed' will be through Isaac. (Genesis 21:12)

They answered him: We are Abraham's seed, and have never been in bondage to any man. How can you say we will be made free?



However you, O Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, you descendants of Abraham, my friend,




Remember your Creator (Hebrew: Bara', plural, Creators denotes majesty) (Ge 1:26) in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near. You will say: I have no pleasure in them.

Take care of yourselves. Do not forget the covenant of Jehovah your God, which he made with you. Do not make a graven image, or the likeness of anything, which Jehovah your God has forbidden.

Be careful that you do not forget Jehovah your God. Always obey his judgments and Laws that I give you today. You will eat all you want. You will build nice houses and live in them. Your herds and flocks, silver and gold, and all that you have will increase. read more.
When this happens, be careful that you do not become arrogant and forget Jehovah your God. He brought you out of slavery in Egypt.

Seek Jehovah and seek his strength. Seek his presence constantly! Remember the marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth. You seed of Abraham his servant, you children of Jacob his chosen ones.

It shall be like the time when Jehovah your God brought you into the land he promised to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. He would give you large and beautiful cities that you did not build. The houses will be full of good things that you did not put in them. There will be wells that you did not dig. There will be vineyards and olive orchards that you did not plant. Jehovah will bring you into this land and you will have all you want to eat. Beware that you do not forget Jehovah, for he brought you out of Egypt your house of bondage.

Search for Jehovah and his strength. Always seek his presence. Remember the miracles he performed. And remember the amazing things he did and the judgments he pronounced.
