- 11:1–10 Although Israel has been unfaithful to the prophetic message of the gospel (Rom 10:14–21), God remains faithful to Israel.

30 I will establish his dynasty forever,
his throne as the days of the heavens.
31 If his descendants forsake my teaching,(A)
do not follow my decrees,
32 If they fail to observe my statutes,
do not keep my commandments,
33 I will punish their crime with a rod
and their guilt with blows.
34 But I will not take my mercy from him,
nor will I betray my bond of faithfulness.(B)
35 I will not violate my covenant;
the promise of my lips I will not alter.(C)

I will never be false to David.
37 [a]His dynasty will continue forever,(E)
his throne, like the sun before me.
