Structure

The New King James Version organises this chapter as follows:

Verse 5

Even unto them will I give in mine house
and within my walls a place and a name
better than of sons and of daughters:
I will give them an everlasting name,
that shall not be cut off.[5]
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.[6]

Verse 7

Even them will I bring to my holy mountain,
and make them joyful in my house of prayer:
their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar;
for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.[7]
