At that time Jerusalem will be called "The Lord has provided us with justice." 17 For I, the Lord, promise: "David will never lack a successor to occupy the throne over the nation of Israel. 18 Nor will the Levitical priests ever lack someone to stand before me and continually offer up burnt offerings, sacrifice cereal offerings, and offer the other sacrifices."'"
