Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE
New International Version NIV
30 (88-31) And if his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments:
30
“If his sons forsake my law and do not follow my statutes,
31 (88-32) If they profane my justices: and keep not my commandments:
31
if they violate my decrees and fail to keep my commands,
32 (88-33) I will visit their iniquities with a rod and their sins with stripes.
32
I will punish their sin with the rod, their iniquity with flogging;
33 (88-34) But my mercy I will not take away from him: nor will I suffer my truth to fail.
33
but I will not take my love from him, nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.
34 (88-35) Neither will I profane my covenant: and the words that proceed from my mouth I will not make void.
34
I will not violate my covenant or alter what my lips have uttered.
35 (88-36) Once have I sworn by my holiness: I will not lie unto David:
35
Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness— and I will not lie to David—
36 (88-37) His seed shall endure for ever.
36
that his line will continue forever and his throne endure before me like the sun;
37 (88-38) And his throne as the sun before me: and as the moon perfect for ever, and a faithful witness in heaven.
37
it will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.”
