    31If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

    32Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

    33Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

    34My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

    35Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

    36His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

    37It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
