2 Samuel 7:12-14

Contemporary English Version

^12 (A) I'll choose one of your sons to be king when you reach the end of your life and are buried in the tomb of your ancestors. I'll make him a strong ruler, ¹³ and no one will be able to take his kingdom away from him. He will be the one to build a temple for me. ^14 (B) I will be his father, and he will be my son.

When he does wrong, I'll see that he is corrected, just as children are corrected by their parents.
