Therefore Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, I said indeed that your house, and the house of your father, should walk before me forever: but now Yahweh says, Be it far from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
For them that honour me — This is a plan from which God will never depart; this can have no alteration; every promise is made in reference to it; "they who honour God shall be honoured; they who despise him shall be lightly esteemed."
