14I am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son; whom in his dealings perversely I have even reproved with a rod of men, and with strokes of the sons of Adam,
15and My kindness doth not turn aside from him, as I turned it aside from Saul, whom I turned aside from before thee,
16and stedfast [is] thy house and thy kingdom unto the age before thee, thy throne is established unto the age.`
17According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spake Nathan unto David.
18And king David cometh in and sitteth before Jehovah, and saith, `Who [am] I, Lord Jehovah? and what my house, that Thou hast brought me hitherto?
19And yet this [is] little in Thine eyes, Lord Jehovah, and Thou dost speak also concerning the house of Thy servant afar off; and this [is] the law of the Man, Lord Jehovah.
20And what doth David add more to speak unto Thee? and Thou, Thou hast known Thy servant, Lord Jehovah.
