Psalm 89:32

Perplexity About God's Promises

³¹
If they break My statutes
And do not keep My commandments,
³² 
Then I will punish their transgression with the rod [of discipline],
And [correct] their wickedness with stripes.
³³
“Nevertheless, I will not break off My lovingkindness from him,
Nor allow My faithfulness to fail.
