31. if they dishonor My statutesand do not keep My commands,
32. then I will call their rebellionto account with the rod,their sin with blows.
33. But I will not withdrawMy faithful love from himor betray My faithfulness.
34. I will not violate My covenantor change what My lips have said.
35. Once and for allI have sworn an oath by My holiness;I will not lie to David.
36. His offspring will continue forever,his throne like the sun before Me,
37. like the moon, established forever,a faithful witness in the sky.” Selah
38. But You have spurned and rejected him;You have become enraged with Your anointed.
39. You have repudiated the covenant with Your servant;You have completely dishonored his crown.
40. You have broken down all his walls;You have reduced his fortified cities to ruins.
