father, and he will be my son. When he does wrong, I will punish him with the
rod of men, with floggings inflicted by men. 15 But my love will never be taken
away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16
Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be
established forever.'"

fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the
Christ.

coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the
