30If his sons forsake My law
and do not walk in My judgments,
31if they violate My statutes
and fail to keep My commandments,
32I will attend to their transgression with the rod,
and to their iniquity with stripes.
33But I will not withdraw My loving devotion from him,
nor ever betray My faithfulness.
34I will not violate My covenant
or alter the utterance of My lips.
35Once and for all I have sworn by My holiness—
I will not lie to David—
— Psalm 89:30-35
