13 He will build a house for my name, and I will make his kingdom strong forever. 14 I will be his father, and he will be my son.[a] When he sins, I will use other people to punish him. They will be my whips. 15 But I will never stop loving him. I will continue to be loyal to him. I took away my love and kindness from Saul. I pushed Saul away when I turned to you.
