31. What if they disobey my orders and fail to keep my commands?
32. Then I will punish them for their sins. I will strike them with the rod. I will whip them for their evil acts.
33. But I will not stop loving David. I will always be faithful to him.
34. I will not break my covenant. I will not go back on my word.
35. Once and for all, I have made a promise with an oath. It is based on my holiness. And I will not lie to David.
36. His family line will continue forever. His kingdom will last as long as the sun.
