"Those who hatethe LORDwould pretendobedienceto Him, And their time[of punishment] would be forever.
"The childrenof Your servantswill continue,And their descendantswill be establishedbeforeYou."
BecauseYour lovingkindnessis betterthanlife,My lipswill praiseYou.
"You shall not worshipthem or servethem; for I, the LORDyour God,am a jealousGod,visitingthe iniquityof the fatherson the children,on the thirdand the fourthgenerations of those who hateMe,
"They will not buildand anotherinhabit,They will not plantand anothereat;For as the lifetimeof a tree,[so will be] the daysof My people,And My chosenoneswill wearout the workof their hands.
But Judahwill be inhabitedforeverAnd Jerusalemfor allgenerations.
Ifyou walkin My statutesand keepMy commandmentsso as to carrythem out,
But you will chaseyour enemiesand they will fallbeforeyou by the sword;
