25. And I will set his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
26. He shall call unto me, Thou art my father, my ·God and the rock of my salvation;
27. And as to me, I will make him firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
28. My loving-kindness will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him;
29. And I will establish his seed for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30. If his sons forsake my law, and walk not in mine ordinances;
31. If they profane my statutes, and keep not my commandments:
32. Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
33. Nevertheless my loving-kindness will I not utterly take from him, nor belie my faithfulness;
34. My covenant will I not profane, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35. Once have I sworn by my holiness; I will not lie unto David:
36. His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me;
