16: For nowH6258 I have chosenH0977 and sanctifiedH6942 -H0853 house,H1004 thisH2088 that may beH1961 My nameH8034 thereH8033 as far asH5704 ever-H5769 and will beH1961 My eyesH5869 and My heartH3820 thereH8033 perpetuallyH3605 perpetually.H3117

17: And as for you,H0859 ifH0518 you walkH1980 before MeH6440 asH0834 walked,H1980 DavidH1732 your fatherH0001 and doH6213 according to allH3605 thatH0834 I have commanded youH6680 and if My statutesH2706 and My judgments-H4941 you keep.H8104

18: Then I will establishH6965 -H0853 the throneH3678 of your kingdom,H4438 asH0834 I covenantedH3772 with DavidH1732 your father,H0001 saying,H0559 notH3808 shall failH3772 [to have] a manH0376 as rulerH4910 in Israel.H3478

21: And [as for] house,H1004 thisH2088 whichH0834 isH1961 exalted,H5945 everyoneH3605 who passesH5674 by itH5921 will be astonishedH8074 and say,H0559 with what [purpose]H4100 has doneH6213 YahwehH3068 thusH3602 to land,H0776 thisH2063 and houseH1004 this?H2088

22: and they will answer,H0559 thereforeH5921 becauseH0834 they forsookH5800 -H0853 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of their fathers,H0001 whoH0834 brought themH3318 out of the landH0776 of Egypt,H4714 and embracedH2388 gods,H0430 otherH0312 and worshipedH7812 and served themH5647 uponH5921 thusH3651 He has broughtH0935 on themH5921 -H0853 allH3605 calamityH7451 this.H2063
