I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted with David your father when I said,‘ You shall never fail to have a successor to rule over Israel.’

then I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted with David your father, saying,‘ You shall not lack a man to rule Israel.’

then I will establish the throne of your dynasty. For I made this covenant with your father, David, when I said,‘ One of your descendants will always rule over Israel.’

I will establish your royal throne, as I promised your father David: You will never fail to have a man ruling in Israel.

then I will establish your royal throne as I covenanted with your father David, saying,‘ You shall not lack a man to be ruler in Israel.’

then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying,‘ You shall not fail to have a man as ruler in Israel.’

then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.

I will establish your royal throne, as I promised your father David: You will never fail to have a man ruling in Israel.

Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man[ to be] ruler in Israel.

Then I will establish your dynasty, just as I promised your father David,‘ You will not fail to have a successor ruling over Israel.’

then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, according as I covenanted with David your father, saying,‘ There shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel.’

“ Lord, you are the God of Israel. Keep the promises you made to my father David. Do it for him. He was your servant. You said to him,‘ You will always have a son from your family line to sit on Israel’s throne. He will sit in front of the Most Holy Room, where my own throne is. That will be true only if your children after you are careful in everything they do. They must live the way my law tells them to. That is the way you have lived.’

He is the one who will build a house where I will put my Name. I will set up the throne of his kingdom. It will last forever.I will be his father. And he will be my son. When he does what is wrong, I will use other men to beat him with rods and whips.I took my love away from Saul. I removed him from being king. You were there when I did it. But I will never take my love away from your son.Your royal house and your kingdom will last forever in my sight. Your throne will last forever.” ’ ”

Then I will set up your royal throne over Israel forever. I promised your father David I would do that. I said to him,‘ You will always have a son from your family line on the throne of Israel.’

The Lord said,“ Could you ever break my covenant with the day? Could you ever break my covenant with the night? Could you ever stop day and night from coming at their appointed times?Only then could my covenant with my servant David be broken. Only then could my covenant with the Levites who serve me as priests be broken. Only then would David no longer have someone from his family line to rule on his throne.

The Lord made a promise to David. It is a firm promise that he will never break. He said,“ After you die, I will place one of your own sons on your throne.If your sons keep my covenant and the laws I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever.”

I will continue to love him forever. I will never break my covenant with him.I will make his family line continue forever. His kingdom will last as long as the heavens.“ What if his sons turn away from my laws and do not follow them?What if they disobey my orders and fail to keep my commands?Then I will punish them for their sins. I will strike them with a rod. I will whip them for their evil acts.But I will not stop loving David. I will always be faithful to him.I will not break my covenant. I will not go back on my word.Once and for all, I have made a promise. It is based on my holiness. And I will not lie to David.His family line will continue forever. His kingdom will last as long as the sun.It will last forever like the moon, that faithful witness in the sky.”But you have turned your back on your anointed king. You have been very angry with him.You have broken the covenant you made with him. You have thrown your servant’s crown into the dirt.You have broken through the walls around his city. You have completely destroyed his secure places.

I say,‘ What if I had not made my covenant with day and night? What if I had not established the laws of heaven and earth?Only then would I turn my back on the children of Jacob and my servant David. Only then would I not choose one of David’s sons to rule over the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But I will bless my people with great success again. I will love them with tender love.’ ”
