30 “If his descendants abandon my teachingsand do not live by my rules,
31 if they violate my lawsand do not obey my commandments,
32 then with a rod I will punish their rebellionand their crimes with beatings.
33 But I will not take my mercy away from himor allow my truth to become a lie.
34 I will not dishonor my promiseor alter my own agreement.
35 On my holiness I have taken an oath once and for all:I will not lie to David.
36 His dynasty will last forever.His throne will be in my presence like the sun.
