Then you will succeed in all you do and seek to accomplish,[e] 4 and the Lord will fulfill his promise to me,[f] ‘If your descendants watch their step[g] and live faithfully in my presence[h] with all their heart and being,[i] then,’ he promised,[j] ‘you will not fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel.’[k]
