13 You belong to the familyof Israel, his servant;you are his chosen ones,the descendants of Jacob.
14 The Lord is our God,bringing justiceeverywhere on earth.
15 We must never forgethis agreement and his promises,not in thousands of years.*
16 God made an eternal promise
17 to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
18 when he said, “I'll give youthe land of Canaan.”
19 At the time there wereonly a few of us,and we were homeless.
