¹² When your days are over and you rest^(A) with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood,^(B) and I will establish his kingdom.^{(C) 13} He is the one who will build a house^(D) for my Name,^(E) and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.^{(F) 14} I will be his father, and he will be my son.^(G) When he does wrong, I will punish him^(H) with a rod^(I) wielded by men, with floggings inflicted by human hands.
