12 (A)When your days are complete and you (B)lie down with your fathers, (C)I will raise up your (a)descendant after you, who will come forth from (b)you, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 (D)He shall build a house for My name, and (E)I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 (F)I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me; (G)when he commits iniquity, I will correct him with the rod of men and the strokes of the sons of men, 15 but My lovingkindness shall not depart from him, (H)as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 (I)Your house and your kingdom shall endure before (c)Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.”’” 17 In accordance with all these words and all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
