31
If they break My statutes And do not keep My commandments,
32
Then I will punish their transgression with the rod, And their iniquity with stripes.
33
Nevertheless My lovingkindness I will not utterly take from him, Nor allow My faithfulness to fail.
34
My covenant I will not break, Nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips.
35
Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David:
36
His seed shall endure forever, And his throne as the sun before Me;
37
It shall be established forever like the moon, Even like the faithful witness in the sky." Selah
38
But You have cast off and abhorred, You have been furious with Your anointed.
39
You have renounced 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.
41
All who pass by the way plunder him; He is a reproach to his neighbors.
