“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.”
The covenant renewal—'Incline your ear, and come to me; listen, so that you may live. I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David'—offers renewed covenant relationship to those who listen. The promise of 'everlasting covenant' recalls the Davidic covenant. The reference to 'steadfast, sure love for David' (hesed) suggests that the same commitment given to David will extend to the people. This verse renews covenant relationship as the foundation of restoration.
