13 He shall build a house for My [a]Name [and My Presence], and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

14 I will be his Father, and he shall be My son. When he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the sons of men.

16 And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before you; your throne shall be established forever.
