For i

God saw the Israelites, and God understood.

But the Lord had mercy on them and felt pity for them. He extended his favor to them because of the promise he had made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He has been unwilling to destroy them or remove them from his presence to this very day.

I responded to them by saying, "The God of heaven will prosper us. We his servants will start the rebuilding. But you have no just or ancient right in Jerusalem."

The Lord said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have made a promise on oath to David, my servant:

Though the Lord is exalted, he takes note of the lowly, and recognizes the proud from far away.

Call on me in prayer and I will answer you. I will show you great and mysterious things which you still do not know about.'

"It will not be like the covenant that I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not continue in my covenant and I had no regard for them, says the Lord.

Make you

I will make you extremely fruitful. I will make nations of you, and kings will descend from you.

I will multiply your descendants so they will be as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give them all these lands. All the nations of the earth will pronounce blessings on one another using the name of your descendants.

May the sovereign God bless you! May he make you fruitful and give you a multitude of descendants! Then you will become a large nation.

The Israelites, however, were fruitful, increased greatly, multiplied, and became extremely strong, so that the land was filled with them.

Your children will be blessed, as well as the produce of your soil, the offspring of your livestock, the calves of your herds, and the lambs of your flocks.

You multiplied their descendants like the stars of the sky. You brought them to the land you had told their ancestors to enter in order to possess.

He blessed them so that they became very numerous. He would not allow their cattle to decrease in number.

Establish

but I will confirm my covenant with you. You will enter the ark -- you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you.

I will confirm my covenant as a perpetual covenant between me and you. It will extend to your descendants after you throughout their generations. I will be your God and the God of your descendants after you.

I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, where they were living as resident foreigners.

Pay attention and come to me! Listen, so you can live! Then I will make an unconditional covenantal promise to you, just like the reliable covenantal promises I made to David.

I will establish my covenant with you, and then you will know that I am the Lord.

He has done this to show mercy to our ancestors, and to remember his holy covenant --
