26. He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
27. I also will make him my firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
28. My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
29. His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30. If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
31. If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
32. Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
33. But my mercy will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
