31. They might break my lawsand disobey my commands.
32. Then I will punish their sins with a rodand their wrongs with a whip.
33. But I will not hold back my love from David.I will not stop being loyal.
34. I will not break my agreement.I will not change what I have said.
35. It is certain that I am a holy God.So it is certain I will not lie to David.
36. His family will continue forever.His kingdom will continue before me like the sun.
37. It will last forever, like the moon,like a lasting witness in the sky.” Selah
38. But now, you have rejected your appointed king.You have been angry with him.
