| 31 If they violate My statutes And do not keep My commandments, | 31 if they violate my decrees and fail to keep my commands, |
| 32 Then I will punish their transgression with the rod And their iniquity with stripes. | 32 I will punish their sin with the rod, their iniquity with flogging; |
| 33 "But I will not break off My lovingkindness from him, Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness. | 33 but I will not take my love from him, nor will I ever betray my faithfulness. |
| 34 "My covenant I will not violate, Nor will I alter the utterance of My lips. | 34 I will not violate my covenant or alter what my lips have uttered. |
| 35 "Once I have sworn by My holiness ; I will not lie to David. | 35 Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness-- and I will not lie to David-- |
| 36 "His descendants shall endure forever And his throne as the sun before Me. | 36 that his line will continue forever and his throne endure before me like the sun; |
| 37 "It shall be established forever like the moon, And the witness in the sky is faithful." Selah. | 37 it will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky." "Selah" |
