28. My mercy will I keep for him forevermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
29. His descendants also will I make to endure forever, 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. Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor allow my faithfulness to fail.
34. My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35. Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
36. His descendants shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me.
37. It shall be established forever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven.
38. But you have cast off and abhorred, you have been angry with your anointed.
39. You have made void the covenant of your servant: you have profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
40. You have broken down all his hedges; you have brought his strongholds to ruin.
