If his sons reject my law and disobey my regulations,

“倘若他的子孙离弃我的律法，不照我的典章行，

“倘若他的子孙离弃我的律法，不照我的典章行，

“倘若他的子孙离弃我的律法，不照我的典章行，

如其子孫、違我律例、不從法度、

其子孫若違背我訓、不依我法度而行、

大維之苗裔。綿綿萬世存。大維之宗室。天地共長春。

“ If his sons forsake my law and do not follow my statutes,

“ What if his sons turn away from my laws and do not follow them?

If his children forsake my law and do not walk according to my rules,

But if his descendants forsake my instructions and fail to obey my regulations,

If his sons abandon my instruction and do not live by my ordinances,

“ If his sons abandon My Law And do not walk in My judgments,

“ If his sons forsake My law And do not walk in My judgments,

If his children forsake my law, And walk not in mine ordinances;

If his sons forsake My instruction and do not live by My ordinances,

If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

If his children forsake my law, and don’t walk in my ordinances;

I will become his father and he will become my son. When he sins, I will correct him with the rod of men and with wounds inflicted by human beings.

Rage takes hold of me because of the wicked, those who reject your law.

“ And you, Solomon my son, obey the God of your father and serve him with a submissive attitude and a willing spirit, for the LORD examines all minds and understands every motive of one’s thoughts. If you seek him, he will let you find him, but if you abandon him, he will reject you permanently.

Because I give you good instruction, do not forsake my teaching.

You must serve me as your father David did. Do everything I commanded and obey my rules and regulations.Then I will establish your dynasty, just as I promised your father David,‘ You will not fail to have a successor ruling over Israel.’“ But if you people ever turn away from me, fail to obey the regulations and rules I instructed you to keep, and decide to serve and worship other gods,then I will remove you from my land I have given you, I will abandon this temple I have consecrated with my presence, and I will make you an object of mockery and ridicule among all the nations.As for this temple, which was once majestic, everyone who passes by it will be shocked and say,‘ Why did the LORD do this to this land and this temple?’Others will then answer,‘ Because they abandoned the LORD God of their ancestors, who led them out of Egypt. They embraced other gods whom they worshiped and served. That is why he brought all this disaster down on them.’”

and follows my statutes and observes my regulations by carrying them out. That man is righteous; he will certainly live, declares the sovereign LORD.

refrains from wrongdoing, does not engage in usury or charge interest, carries out my regulations and follows my statutes. He will not die for his father’s iniquity; he will surely live.

The LORD answered,“ This has happened because these people have rejected my laws which I gave them. They have not obeyed me or followed those laws.Instead they have followed the stubborn inclinations of their own hearts. They have paid allegiance to the gods called Baal, as their fathers taught them to do.So then, listen to what I, the LORD God of Israel who rules over all, say.‘ I will make these people eat the bitter food of suffering and drink the poison water of judgment.I will scatter them among nations that neither they nor their ancestors have known anything about. I will send people chasing after them with swords until I have destroyed them.’”

I am the LORD your God; follow my statutes, observe my regulations, and carry them out.

If your sons keep my covenant and the rules I teach them, their sons will also sit on your throne forever.”

They were both righteous in the sight of God, following all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blamelessly.

Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law contend with them.
