verified

7:12And when your days will have been fulfilled, and you will sleep with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who will go forth from your loins, and I will make firm his kingdom

7:13He himself shall build a house to my name. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom, even forever

7:14I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me. And if he will commit any iniquity, I will correct him with the rod of men and with the wounds of the sons of men

7:15But my mercy I will not take away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before my face

7:16And your house shall be faithful, and your kingdom shall be before your face, for eternity, and your throne shall be secure continuously.’
