“‘ After this I will return and rebuild David’s fallen tent. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it,

“‘ After this I will return and set up again David’s fallen tent. I will rebuild what was destroyed. I will make it what it used to be.

“‘ After this I will return, and I will rebuild the tent of David that has fallen; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it,

‘ Afterward I will return and restore the fallen house of David. I will rebuild its ruins and restore it,

‘ After these things I will return, And I will rebuild the fallen tabernacle of David, And I will rebuild its ruins, And I will restore it,

‘ After this I will return And will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, And I will set it up;

After these things I will return, And I will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen; And I will build again the ruins thereof, And I will set it up:

After these things I will return and rebuild David’s fallen tent. I will rebuild its ruins and set it up again,

After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:

‘ After this I will return, and I will rebuild the fallen tent of David; I will rebuild its ruins and restore it,

‘ After these things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up

In that day I will restore the fallen shelter of David: I will repair its gaps, restore its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old,so that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations that bear my name— this is the declaration of the LORD; he will do this.

Now listen: You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus.He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will have no end.”

Once and for all I have sworn an oath by my holiness; I will not lie to David.His offspring will continue forever, his throne like the sun before me,like the moon, established forever, a faithful witness in the sky.” SelahBut you have spurned and rejected him; you have become enraged with your anointed.You have repudiated the covenant with your servant; you have completely dishonored his crown.You have broken down all his walls; you have reduced his fortified cities to ruins.All who pass by plunder him; he has become an object of ridicule to his neighbors.You have lifted high the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice.You have also turned back his sharp sword and have not let him stand in battle.You have made his splendor cease and have overturned his throne.You have shortened the days of his youth; you have covered him with shame. SelahHow long, LORD? Will you hide forever? Will your anger keep burning like fire?Remember how short my life is. Have you created everyone for nothing?What courageous person can live and never see death? Who can save himself from the power of Sheol? SelahLord, where are the former acts of your faithful love that you swore to David in your faithfulness?

When all Israel saw that the king had not listened to them, the people answered him: What portion do we have in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. Israel, return to your tents; David, now look after your own house! So Israel went to their tents,

ever since the day I ordered judges to be over my people Israel. I will give you rest from all your enemies.“‘ The LORD declares to you: The LORD himself will make a house for you.When your time comes and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up after you your descendant, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.He is the one who will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.I will be his father, and he will be my son. When he does wrong, I will discipline him with a rod of men and blows from mortals.But my faithful love will never leave him as it did when I removed it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.Your house and kingdom will endure before me forever, and your throne will be established forever.’”

For a child will be born for us, a son will be given to us, and the government will be on his shoulders. He will be named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.The dominion will be vast, and its prosperity will never end. He will reign on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish and sustain it with justice and righteousness from now on and forever. The zeal of the LORD of Armies will accomplish this.

“‘ This is what the Lord GOD says: I will take a sprig from the lofty top of the cedar and plant it. I will pluck a tender sprig from its topmost shoots, and I will plant it on a high towering mountain.I will plant it on Israel’s high mountain so that it may bear branches, produce fruit, and become a majestic cedar. Birds of every kind will nest under it, taking shelter in the shade of its branches.Then all the trees of the field will know that I am the LORD. I bring down the tall tree, and make the low tree tall. I cause the green tree to wither and make the withered tree thrive. I, the LORD, have spoken and I will do it.’”

After I have uprooted them, I will once again have compassion on them and return each one to his inheritance and to his land.

In the whole land— this is the LORD’s declaration— two-thirds will be cut off and die, but a third will be left in it.

But after he had considered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying,“ Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet:See, the virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel, which is translated“ God is with us.”When Joseph woke up, he did as the Lord’s angel had commanded him. He married herbut did not have sexual relations with her until she gave birth to a son. And he named him Jesus.

“ Have you not noticed what these people have said? They say,‘ The LORD has rejected the two families he had chosen.’ My people are treated with contempt and no longer regarded as a nation among them.This is what the LORD says: If I do not keep my covenant with the day and with the night, and if I fail to establish the fixed order of heaven and earth,then I might also reject the descendants of Jacob and of my servant David. That is, I would not take rulers from his descendants to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But in fact, I will restore their fortunes and have compassion on them.”

He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David,just as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets in ancient times;
