29I will make sure his royal line lasts forever; his dynasty will continue as long as the heavens endure.
30But if his descendants abandon my laws, if they do not follow my rules,
31if they break my decrees, and do not keep my commandments,
32I will punish their rebellion by beating them with a rod, and their sin by lashing them with a whip.
33However, I will not take away my love from him; I will not break my promise to him.
34I will not annul the agreement I have with him; I will not alter a single word I've said.
35By my holy character I have made a vow to David that I will not lie to him.
36His royal line will last forever, and his dynasty will continue before me as long as the sun endures.
37It will continue forever like the moon, an enduring witness in the heavens.” Selah.
38But you have rejected and abandoned him! You are angry with your chosen king!
39You have broken the agreement you had with him; you have thrown his crown to the ground!
