Isaiah 55:3
Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

Study Note
God invites his people to an 'everlasting covenant' described as 'the sure mercies of David' — a phrase that echoes 2 Samuel 7's Davidic promise but extends it to all who respond. The democratization of the Davidic covenant, once focused on a royal line, is a striking theological move: every hungry soul can inherit what was promised to the king. Paul quotes this verse in Acts 13:34 to argue that the resurrection of Jesus fulfills the 'sure mercies of David,' making Easter the decisive moment when the promise becomes universally accessible.
