29 I will establish his line forever,

his throne as long as the heavens endure.

30 “If his sons forsake my law

and do not follow my statutes,

31 if they violate my decrees

and 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 covenant

or 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 forever

and his throne endure before me like the sun;

29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever,

And his throne as the days of heaven.

30 If his children forsake my law,

And walk not in my judgments;

31 If they break my statutes,

And keep not my commandments;

32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod,

And their iniquity with stripes.

33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him,

Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

34 My covenant will I not break,

Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

35 Once have I sworn by my holiness

That I will not lie unto David.

36 His seed shall endure for ever,

And his throne as the sun before me.

29 I will preserve an heir for him;

his throne will be as endless as the days of heaven.

30 But if his descendants forsake my instructions

and fail to obey my regulations,

31 if they do not obey my decrees

and fail to keep my commands,

32 then I will punish their sin with the rod,

and their disobedience with beating.

33 But I will never stop loving him

nor fail to keep my promise to him.

34 No, I will not break my covenant;

I will not take back a single word I said.

35 I have sworn an oath to David,

and in my holiness I cannot lie:

36 His dynasty will go on forever;

his kingdom will endure as the sun.

29 His seed also I will make to endure forever,

And his throne as the days of heaven.

30 “If his sons forsake My law

And do not walk in My judgments,

31 If they break My statutes

And do not keep My commandments,

32 Then I will punish their transgression with the rod,

And their iniquity with stripes.

33 Nevertheless My lovingkindness I will not utterly take from him,

Nor allow My faithfulness to fail.

34 My covenant I will not break,

Nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips.

35 Once I have sworn by My holiness;

I will not lie to David:

36 His seed shall endure forever,

And his throne as the sun before Me;

29 I will make his family continue,

and his kingdom will last as long as the skies.

30 “If his descendants reject my teachings

and do not follow my laws,

31 if they ignore my demands

and disobey my commands,

32 then I will punish their sins with a rod

and their wrongs with a whip.

33 But I will not hold back my love from David,

nor will I stop being loyal.

34 I will not break my agreement

nor change what I have said.

35 I have promised by my holiness,

I will not lie to David.

36 His family will go on forever.

His kingdom will last before me like the sun.

29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever,

And his throne as the days of heaven.

30 If his children forsake my law,

And walk not in mine ordinances;

31 If they break my statutes,

And keep not my commandments;

32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod,

And their iniquity with stripes.

33 But my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him,

Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

34 My covenant will I not break,

Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

35 Once have I sworn by my holiness:

I will not lie unto David:

36 His seed shall endure for ever,

And his throne as the sun before me.

29 And I will establish his seed for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. 30 If his sons forsake my law, and walk not in mine ordinances; 31 If they profane my statutes, and keep not my commandments: 32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. 33 Nevertheless my loving-kindness will I not utterly take from him, nor belie my faithfulness; 34 My covenant will I not profane, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. 35 Once have I sworn by my holiness; I will not lie unto David: 36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me;

29 I will make his dynasty endure forever 

and his throne like the days of heaven. 

30 “If his descendants abandon my teachings 

and do not live by my rules, 

31 if they violate my laws 

and do not obey my commandments, 

32 then with a rod I will punish their rebellion 

and their crimes with beatings. 

33 But I will not take my mercy away from him 

or allow my truth to become a lie. 

34 I will not dishonor my promise 

or 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. 

29 I will establish his line forever,

his throne as long as heaven lasts.

30 If his sons forsake My instruction

and do not live by My ordinances,

31 if they dishonor My statutes

and do not keep My commands,

32 then I will call their rebellion

to account with the rod,

their sin with blows.

33 But I will not withdraw

My faithful love from him

or betray My faithfulness.

34 I will not violate My covenant

or change what My lips have said.

35 Once and for all

I have sworn an oath by My holiness;

I will not lie to David.

36 His offspring will continue forever,

his throne like the sun before Me,

29 I will establish his line forever,

and his throne as long as the heavens endure.

30 If his children forsake my law

and do not walk according to my ordinances,

31 if they violate my statutes

and do not keep my commandments,

32 then I will punish their transgression with the rod

and their iniquity with scourges;

33 but I will not remove from him my steadfast love,

or be false to my faithfulness.

34 I will not violate my covenant,

or alter the word that went forth from my lips.

35 Once and for all I have sworn by my holiness;

I will not lie to David.

36 His line shall continue forever,

and his throne endure before me like the sun.

29 I will also establish his offspring forever,

and his throne as the days of the heavens.

30 If his sons forsake my law

and do not walk in my judgments,

31 if they defile my statutes

and do not keep my commandments,

32 then I will punish their transgression with a rod,

and their guilt with wounds.

33 But I will not break off my loyal love from him,

and I will not be false against my faithfulness.

34 I will not defile my covenant,

or alter what proceeded from my lips.

35 Once I have sworn by my holiness,

‘I will surely not lie to David,

36 His offspring will endure forever,

and his throne as the sun before me.

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.

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.

29 “So I will establish his descendants forever

And his throne as the days of heaven.

30 “If his sons forsake My law

And do not walk in My judgments,

31 If they violate My statutes

And do not keep My commandments,

32 Then I will punish their transgression with the rod

And their iniquity with stripes.

33 “But I will not break off My lovingkindness from him,

Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.

34 “My covenant I will not violate,

Nor will I alter the utterance of My lips.

35 “Once I have sworn by My holiness;

I will not lie to David.

36 “His descendants shall endure forever

And his throne as the sun before Me.
