23. They will not defile themselves with disgusting idols any more or corrupt themselves with sin. I will free them from all the ways in which they sin and betray me. I will purify them; they will be my people, and I will be their God.
24. A king like my servant David will be their king. They will all be united under one ruler and will obey my laws faithfully.
25. They will live on the land I gave to my servant Jacob, the land where their ancestors lived. They will live there for ever, and so will their children and all their descendants. A king like my servant David will rule over them for ever.
26. I will make a covenant with them that guarantees their security for ever. I will establish them and increase their population, and put my Temple in their land, where it will stay for ever.
27. I will live there with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people.
28. When I place my Temple there to be among them for ever, then the nations will know that I, the Lord, have chosen Israel to be my own people.”
