My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,

And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.

Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
