38. Formal Translation And it shall be, if you listen to all that I {Yahweh, Covenant Establishing} command you and walk in My ways and do what is right in My eyes, to keep My statutes and My commandments as David My servant did, then I will be with you and will build for you a faithful house as I built for David, and will give Israel to you. |
38. Dynamic Translation If you pay attention to everything I {Yahweh, Promise-Keeping Guide} tell you and live according to My ways, doing what is right in My sight and keeping My rules and commands as David My servant did, I will stay with you, and I will establish for you a secure dynasty, and I will hand Israel over to you. |
