30 ‘If his sons forsake my lawand do not follow my statutes,
31 if they violate my decreesand fail to keep my commands,
32 I will punish their sin with the rod,their iniquity with flogging;
33 but I will not take my love from him,nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.
34 I will not violate my covenantor alter what my lips have uttered.
35 Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness –and I will not lie to David –
36 that his line will continue for everand his throne endure before me like the sun;
