Footnotes
The promise to 'raise up David' (*aqim lahem*) is explicitly messianic: David had been dead for four centuries when Jeremiah wrote. The verb *qum* — to raise up, establish, cause to stand — carries the same covenantal weight as in 2 Sam. 7:12, where YHWH promises to raise David's seed forever. Ezekiel repeats the promise with the same language (Ezek. 34:23; 37:24). Both translations preserve 'David' without interpretation, since the referent is the coming Davidic Messiah, not the historical king — the first explicit messianic promise in the Book of Consolation.
