- If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
- If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
- Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
- Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
- My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

- "If his sons forsake my law and do not follow my statutes,
- if they violate my decrees and fail to keep my commands,
- I will punish their sin with the rod, their iniquity with flogging;
- but I will not take my love from him, nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.
- I will not violate my covenant or alter what my lips have uttered.
