31. if they violate my decrees and fail to keep my commands,
32. I will punish their sin with the rod, their iniquity with flogging;
33. but I will not take my love from him, nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.
34. I will not violate my covenant or alter what my lips have uttered.
35. Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness— and I will not lie to David—
36. that his line will continue forever and his throne endure before me like the sun;
37. it will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.”
