22. I will unite them into one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. They will have one king to rule over them, and they will no longer be divided into two nations or split into two kingdoms.
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.”
