David, I will make your family\par continue forever.\par I will make your kingdom continue\par forever and ever.”\par \i (SELAH {\cf2\super [504]})\i0 \par
Who caused \{these things to happen\}?\par Who did this?\par Who called all people from the beginning?\par \{I, the Lord, did these things\}!\par I, the Lord, am the first.\par I was here before the beginning.\par And I will be here when all things\par are finished.\par
The Lord decided to crush him. The Lord decided that he must suffer, so the Servant gave himself to be the one to die. But he will live a new life for a long, long time. He will see his people. He will complete the things the Lord wants him to do.
Never again will\par one person build a house\par and another person live there.\par Never again will\par one person plant a garden\par and another person eat the fruit from it.\par
“I will make a new world—and the new heavens and the new earth \{will last forever\}. In the same way, your names and your children will always be with me.
“‘Now, see that I and only I am God!
There is no other God!
I put people to death
and I let people live.
I can hurt people,
and I can make them well.
No one can save another person
from my power!
