He will not turn from it:
“I will set upon your throne (B)the [a]fruit of your body.
12 If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I shall teach them,
Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.”

Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 (F)I will also clothe her priests with salvation,
(G)And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

But upon Himself His crown shall flourish.”
