17 For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
17
For this is what the LORD says: ‘David will never fail to have a man to sit on the throne of Israel,
18 Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.
18
nor will the Levitical priests ever fail to have a man to stand before me continually to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings and to present sacrifices.’ ”
