7In all the places that I have gone through with all the children of Israel, did ever I speak a word to any one of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying: Why have you not built me a house of cedar?

14I will be his father, and he shall be my son: if he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;

15but my lovingkindness shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.

24For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be an everlasting people: and thou, O Lord God, art become their God.

24Yea, Thou dost establish to Thee Thy people Israel, to Thee for a people unto the age, and Thou, Jehovah, hast been to them for God.
