30. “But if his descendants disobey my lawand do not live according to my commands,
31. if they disregard my instructionsand do not keep my commandments,
32. then I will punish them for their sins;I will make them suffer for their wrongs.
33. But I will not stop loving Davidor fail to keep my promise to him.
34. I will not break my covenant with himor take back even one promise I made him.
35. “Once and for all I have promised by my holy name:I will never lie to David.
36. He will always have descendants,and I will watch over his kingdom as long as the sun shines.
37. It will be as permanent as the moon,that faithful witness in the sky.”
38. But you are angry with your chosen king;you have deserted and rejected him.
39. You have broken your covenant with your servantand thrown his crown in the mud.
40. You have torn down the walls of his cityand left his forts in ruins.
