14 (A)I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and if he (B)sin, I will chasten him with the [a]rod of men, and with the plagues of the children of men.

15 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul whom I have put away before thee.

16 And thine house shall be established and thy kingdom forever before thee, even thy throne shall be [b]established forever.
