2 Samuel 7:12-16 ▼

12 When your life is complete and you go to join your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring after you, who will come forth from your body, and I will fortify his kingdom.

13 He will build a Temple dedicated to my Name, and I will make the throne of his kingdom last forever.

14 I will be a father to him, and he will be to me a son who, when he commits iniquity, I will discipline with the rod wielded by armies and with wounds inflicted by human beings.

15 But I'll never remove my gracious love from him as I did from Saul, whom I removed from your presence.

16 Your dynasty and your kingdom will remain forever in my presence—your throne will be secure forever.|'|
