that the kingh4428 saidh559 to  aNathanh5416 the propheth5030, "Seeh7200 nowh4994, I dwellh3427 in  ba househ1004 of cedarh730, but the arkh727 of Godh430  cdwellsh3427 withinh8432 tenth3407 curtainsh3407."

12

aWhenh3588 your daysh3117 are completeh4390 and you  blieh7901 downh7901 with your fathersh1,  cI will raiseh6965 up your  1descendanth2233 afterh310 you, whoh834 will comeh3318 forthh3318 from  2you, and I will establishh3559 his kingdomh4467.

13

aHe shall buildh1129 a househ1004 for My nameh8034, and  bI will establishh3559 the throneh3678 of his kingdomh4467 foreverh5704h5769.

14

aI will be a fatherh1 to him and he will be a sonh1121 to Me;  bwhenh834 he commitsh5753b iniquityh5753b, I will correcth3198 him with the rodh7626 of menh376 and the strokesh5061 of the sonsh1121 of menh120,

15

but My lovingkindnessh2617a shall not departh5493 from him,  aas I tookh5493 it awayh5493 from Saulh7586, whomh834 I removedh5493 from beforeh6440 you.

16

aYour househ1004 and your kingdomh4467 shall endureh539 beforeh6440  1Me foreverh5704h5769; your throneh3678 shall be establishedh3559 foreverh5704h5769.""'
