And his bthrone cas the days of heaven.

30 “If his sons aforsake My law

And do not walk in My judgments,

31 If they 1violate My statutes

And do not keep My commandments,

32 Then I will punish their transgression with the arod

And their iniquity with stripes.

Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.

Nor will I balter 2the utterance of My lips.

And his bthrone cas the sun before Me.

And the bwitness in the sky is faithful.”

You have been full of wrath 1against Your canointed.
