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.
33 But I will not stop loving David. I will always be faithful to him.
34 I will not break my covenant. I will not go back on my word.
35 Once and for all, I have made a promise with an oath. It is based on my holiness. And I will not lie to David.
36 His family line will continue forever. His kingdom will last as long as the sun.
