I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took [it] from [him] that was before thee:

I will be his father {H1}, and he shall be my son {H1121}: and I will not take {H5493} my mercy {H2617} away {H5493} from him, as I took {H5493} it from him that was before {H6440} thee:

I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my lovingkindness away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee;
