2 Samuel 7:12-19 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

12. `When thy days are full, and thou hast lain with thy fathers, then I have raised up thy seed after thee which goeth out from thy bowels, and have established his kingdom;

13. He doth build a house for My Name, and I have established the throne of his kingdom unto the age.

14. I am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son; whom in his dealings perversely I have even reproved with a rod of men, and with strokes of the sons of Adam,

15. and My kindness doth not turn aside from him, as I turned it aside from Saul, whom I turned aside from before thee,

16. and stedfast [is] thy house and thy kingdom unto the age before thee, thy throne is established unto the age.'

17. According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spake Nathan unto David.

18. And king David cometh in and sitteth before Jehovah, and saith, `Who [am] I, Lord Jehovah? and what my house, that Thou hast brought me hitherto?

19. And yet this [is] little in Thine eyes, Lord Jehovah, and Thou dost speak also concerning the house of Thy servant afar off; and this [is] the law of the Man, Lord Jehovah.
