Isaiah 55:13

Isaiah 55:13. Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

We read, in the third verse, about "the sure mercies of David." To explain that phrase, let us read a few verses from the second Book of Samuel, and the twenty-third chapter. I might have selected another passage, but these being David’s dying words will be the more striking.

This exposition consisted of readings from ISAIAH 44. and 45; and 2 Samuel 23:1-5.
