12. He himself will build for me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.
13. I myself will be a father to him, and he himself will be a son to me. And I will not remove my steadfast love from him as I took it away from whoever was before you.
14. And I will establish him in my house and in my kingdom forever, and his throne will be established forever.” ’ ”
