For the Lord has chosen Jacob to be his own, Israel to be his treasured possession.

The Lord has chosen the people of Jacob to be his own. He has chosen Israel to be his special treasure.

For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his own possession.

For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his treasured possession.

For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel as His own possession.

For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His special treasure.

For Jehovah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, And Israel for his own possession.

For Yahweh has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel as His treasured possession.

For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself,[ and] Israel for his peculiar treasure.

Indeed, the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel to be his special possession.

For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his own possession.

Yet the Lord chose your ancestors as the objects of his love. And he chose you, their descendants, above all other nations, as is evident today.

But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.

“ They will be my people,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.“ On the day when I act in judgment, they will be my own special treasure. I will spare them as a father spares an obedient child.

For you are a holy people, who belong to the Lord your God. Of all the people on earth, the Lord your God has chosen you to be his own special treasure.“ The Lord did not set his heart on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other nations, for you were the smallest of all nations!

He gave his life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds.

“ For the people of Israel belong to the Lord; Jacob is his special possession.

The wild animals in the fields will thank me, the jackals and owls, too, for giving them water in the desert. Yes, I will make rivers in the dry wasteland so my chosen people can be refreshed.I have made Israel for myself, and they will someday honor me before the whole world.

“ But as for you, Israel my servant, Jacob my chosen one, descended from Abraham my friend,

Now if you will obey me and keep my covenant, you will be my own special treasure from among all the peoples on earth; for all the earth belongs to me.And you will be my kingdom of priests, my holy nation.’ This is the message you must give to the people of Israel.”

The Lord will not abandon his people, because that would dishonor his great name. For it has pleased the Lord to make you his very own people.

The Lord says,“ Shout and rejoice, O beautiful Jerusalem, for I am coming to live among you.Many nations will join themselves to the Lord on that day, and they, too, will be my people. I will live among you, and you will know that the Lord of Heaven’s Armies sent me to you.The land of Judah will be the Lord’s special possession in the holy land, and he will once again choose Jerusalem to be his own city.

What joy for the nation whose God is the Lord, whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.

you children of his servant Abraham, you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.
