|
30 "If his sons forsake my law and do not follow my statutes,
|
|
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 scourges;
|
32 I will punish their sin with the rod, their iniquity with flogging;
|
|
33 but I will not remove from him my steadfast love, or be false to my faithfulness.
|
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 the word that went forth from my lips.

|
|
37 Like the moon it shall be established for ever; it shall stand firm while the skies endure." [Selah]
|
37 it will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky." "Selah"
