27. And I will appoint him to be my firstborn,the most exalted of the kings of the earth.
28. I will maintain my love to him for ever,and my covenant with him will never fail.
29. I will establish his line for ever,his throne as long as the heavens endure.
30. ‘If his sons forsake my lawand do not follow my statutes,
31. if they violate my decreesand fail to keep my commands,
32. I will punish their sin with the rod,their iniquity with flogging;
33. but I will not take my love from him,nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.
34. I will not violate my covenantor alter what my lips have uttered.
