New International Version (NIV) |
|
30 But if his sons forsake my law and fail to walk in my ways,
|
30 "If his sons forsake my law and do not follow my statutes,
|
|
31 if they do not obey my decrees and fail to keep my commands,
|
31 if they violate my decrees and fail to keep my commands,
|
|
32 then I will punish their sin with the rod, and their disobedience with beating.
|
32 I will punish their sin with the rod, their iniquity with flogging;
|
|
33 But I will never stop loving him, nor let my promise to him fail.
|
33 but I will not take my love from him, nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.
|
|
34 No, I will not break my covenant; I will not take back a single word I said.
|
34 I will not violate my covenant or alter what my lips have uttered.
|
|
35 I have sworn an oath to David, and in my holiness I cannot lie:
|
35 Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness-- and I will not lie to David--
|
|
36 His dynasty will go on forever; his throne is as secure as the sun,
|
36 that his line will continue forever and his throne endure before me like the sun;
|
|
37 as eternal as the moon, my faithful witness in the sky!" Interlude
|
37 it will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky." "Selah"
