Amos 9:11-15

English Standard Version

The Restoration of Israel

¹¹“In that day ^(A)I will raise up
    the booth of David that is fallen
and repair its breaches,
    and raise up its ruins
    and rebuild it as in the days of old,
¹²^(B)that they may possess the remnant of Edom
    and ^(C)all the nations who are called by my name,”^[a]
    declares the Lord who does this.

¹³“Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord,
    ^(D)“when the plowman shall overtake the reaper
    and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed;
^(E)the mountains shall drip sweet wine,
    and all the hills shall flow with it.
¹⁴^(F)I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel,
    and ^(G)they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them;
^(H)they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine,
    and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit.
¹⁵^(I)I will plant them on their land,
    ^(J)and they shall never again be uprooted
    out of the land ^(K)that I have given them,”
says the Lord your God.

2 Samuel 7:8-16

English Standard Version

⁸Now, therefore, thus you shall say to my servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, ^(A)I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, that you should be prince^[a] over my people Israel. ⁹^(B)And 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. ¹⁰And I will appoint a place for my people Israel ^(C)and will plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place ^(D)and be disturbed no more. ^(E)And violent men shall afflict them no more, as formerly, ¹¹^(F)from the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel. And ^(G)I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover, the Lord declares to you that ^(H)the Lord will make you a house. ¹²^(I)When your days are fulfilled and ^(J)you lie down with your fathers, ^(K)I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. ¹³^(L)He shall build a house for my name, and ^(M)I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. ¹⁴^(N)I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, ^(O)I will discipline him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men, ¹⁵^(P)but my steadfast love will not depart from him, ^(Q)as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you. ¹⁶^(R)And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me.^[b] ^(S)Your throne shall be established forever.’”
