23
I will beat down his foes before his face, And plague those who hate him.
24
"But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him, And in My name his horn shall be exalted.
25
Also I will set his hand over the sea, And his right hand over the rivers.
26
He shall cry to Me, 'You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.'
27
Also I will make him My firstborn, The highest of the kings of the earth.
28
My mercy I will keep for him forever, And My covenant shall stand firm with him.
29
His seed also I will make to endure forever, And his throne as the days of heaven.
30
"If his sons forsake My law And do not walk in My judgments,
31
If they break My statutes And do not keep My commandments,
32
Then I will punish their transgression with the rod, And their iniquity with stripes.
33
Nevertheless My lovingkindness I will not utterly take from him, Nor allow My faithfulness to fail.
