Footnotes

15 Heb “plant.”
16 Heb “shaken.”
17 Heb “and sons of violence will no longer consume them as in the beginning.”
18 Here the word “house” is used in a metaphorical sense, referring to a royal dynasty. The Lord’s use of the word here plays off the literal sense that David had in mind as he contemplated building a temple (“house”) for the Lord. In the translation the adjective “dynastic” is supplied to indicate that the term is used metaphorically.
