8 Now, therefore, thus you shall say to my servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, ^aI took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, that you should be prince ^{▼▼Or leader} over my people Israel. 9 ^cAnd I have been with you wherever you went and have cut off all your enemies from before you. And I will make for you a great name, like the name of the great ones of the earth. 10 And I will appoint a place for my people Israel ^dand will plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place ^eand be disturbed no more. ^fAnd violent men shall afflict them no more, as formerly, 11 ^gfrom the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel. And ^hI will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover, the Lord declares to you that ⁱthe Lord will make you a house. 12 ^jWhen your days are fulfilled and ^kyou lie down with your fathers, ^lI will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 ^mHe shall build a house for my name, and ⁿI will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 ^oI will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, ^pI will discipline him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men, 15 ^qbut my steadfast love will not depart from him, ^ras I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you. 16 ^sAnd your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me. ^{▼▼Septuagint; Hebrew you} ^uYour throne shall be established forever.’” 17 In accordance with all these words, and in accordance with all this vision, Nathan spoke to David.
