“ I will defend this city and save it, for my sake and for the sake of David my servant!”

‘ I will guard this city and save it. I will do it for myself. And I will do it for my servant David.’ ”

For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake and for the sake of my servant David.”

I will defend this city and rescue it for my sake and for the sake of my servant David.”

‘ For I will protect this city to save it for My own sake, and for My servant David’s sake.’ ”

‘ For I will defend this city, to save it For My own sake and for My servant David’s sake.’”

For I will defend this city to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.

I will defend this city and rescue it because of Me and because of My servant David.”

For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.

I will shield this city and rescue it for the sake of my reputation and because of my promise to David my servant.”’”

‘ For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.’”

The Lord of Heaven’s Armies will hover over Jerusalem and protect it like a bird protecting its nest. He will defend and save the city; he will pass over it and rescue it.”

and I will rescue you and this city from the king of Assyria. Yes, I will defend this city.

“ I— yes, I alone— will blot out your sins for my own sake and will never think of them again.

I will add fifteen years to your life, and I will rescue you and this city from the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my own honor and for the sake of my servant David.’”

But I didn’t do it, for I acted to protect the honor of my name. I would not allow shame to be brought on my name among the surrounding nations who saw me reveal myself by bringing the Israelites out of Egypt.

The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.

But I feared the taunt of Israel’s enemy, who might misunderstand and say,“ Our own power has triumphed! The Lord had nothing to do with this!”’

For my people will serve the Lord their God and their king descended from David— the king I will raise up for them.

“ My servant David will be their king, and they will have only one shepherd. They will obey my regulations and be careful to keep my decrees.They will live in the land I gave my servant Jacob, the land where their ancestors lived. They and their children and their grandchildren after them will live there forever, generation after generation. And my servant David will be their prince forever.

“ For the time is coming,” says the Lord,“ when I will raise up a righteous descendant from King David’s line. He will be a King who rules with wisdom. He will do what is just and right throughout the land.And this will be his name:‘ The Lord Is Our Righteousness.’ In that day Judah will be saved, and Israel will live in safety.

But for David’s sake, the Lord his God allowed his descendants to continue ruling, shining like a lamp, and he gave Abijam a son to rule after him in Jerusalem.

His son will have one tribe so that the descendants of David my servant will continue to reign, shining like a lamp in Jerusalem, the city I have chosen to be the place for my name.

“ In those days and at that time I will raise up a righteous descendant from King David’s line. He will do what is just and right throughout the land.In that day Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will live in safety. And this will be its name:‘ The Lord Is Our Righteousness.’

So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son.

But for the sake of your father, David, I will not do this while you are still alive. I will take the kingdom away from your son.And even so, I will not take away the entire kingdom; I will let him be king of one tribe, for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, my chosen city.”

Yet for my own sake and for the honor of my name, I will hold back my anger and not wipe you out.I have refined you, but not as silver is refined. Rather, I have refined you in the furnace of suffering.I will rescue you for my sake— yes, for my own sake! I will not let my reputation be tarnished, and I will not share my glory with idols!

“ Therefore, give the people of Israel this message from the Sovereign Lord: I am bringing you back, but not because you deserve it. I am doing it to protect my holy name, on which you brought shame while you were scattered among the nations.
