“ Indeed, a time is coming,” says the LORD,“ when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah.It will not be like the old covenant that I made with their ancestors when I delivered them from Egypt. For they violated that covenant, even though I was like a faithful husband to them,” says the LORD.

They solemnly agreed to seek the LORD God of their ancestors with their whole heart and being.Anyone who would not seek the LORD God of Israel would be executed, whether they were young or old, male or female.

Standing near him on his right were Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Masseiah. On his left were Pedaiah, Mishael, Malkijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam.Ezra opened the book in plain view of all the people, for he was elevated above all the people.

Nor did I choose a man as leader of my people Israel.But now I have chosen Jerusalem as a place to live, and I have chosen David to lead my people Israel.’Now my father David had a strong desire to build a temple to honor the LORD God of Israel.The LORD told my father David,‘ It is right for you to have a strong desire to build a temple to honor me.But you will not build the temple; your very own son will build the temple for my honor.’The LORD has kept the promise he made. I have taken my father David’s place and have occupied the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised.
