26 He will call out to me, 'You are my Father. You are my God. You are my Rock and Savior.'
27 I will also make him my oldest son. Among all the kings of the earth, he will be the most important one.
28 I will continue to love him forever. I will never break my covenant with him.
29 I will make his family line continue forever. His kingdom will last as long as the heavens.
30 "What if his sons turn away from my laws and do not follow them?
31 What if they disobey my orders and fail to keep my commands?
32 Then I will punish them for their sins. I will strike them with the rod. I will whip them for their evil acts.
