12 (A)When your days are finished and you [a](B)lie down with your fathers, (C)I will raise up your [b]descendant after you, who will come from [c]you, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 (D)He shall build a house for My name, and (E)I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 (F)I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me; (G)when he does wrong, I will discipline him with a rod of men and with strokes of sons of mankind, 15 but My favor shall not depart from him, (H)as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from you. 16 (I)Your house and your kingdom shall endure before [d]Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.”’”
