- "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.

- "If his sons forsake My law And do not walk in My judgments,
- If they violate My statutes And do not keep My commandments,
- Then I will punish their transgression with the rod And their iniquity with stripes.
- "But I will not break off My lovingkindness from him, Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.
- "My covenant I will not violate, Nor will I alter the utterance of My lips.
