"If his sons forsake My lawAnd do not walk in My judgments,
"If his sons forsake My law And do not walk in My judgments,
But if his chyldren forsake my lawe, and walke not in my iudgement:
If his sons forsake my law, and walk not in mine ordinances;
"If his sons forsake My law And do not walk in My judgments,
If his sons forsake My Law, and do not walk in My judgments;
If his descendants stop following my law and stop obeying my commands,
If his children forsake my law, And don't walk in my ordinances;
If his children forsake my lawe, and walke not in my iudgements;
His sede wil I make to endure for euer, yee and his Trone as the dayes of heauen.
"If his children turn away from My law And do not walk in My ordinances,
If his children forsake my law, And walk not in mine ordinances;
If his children give up my law, and are not ruled by my decisions;
If his sons forsake my law, And don't walk in my ordinances;
If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
If his sons reject my law and disobey my regulations,
Suppose some of his children should reject my Law and refuse my instructions.
I will establish his dynasty forever, and his throne as long as the heavens last.
But if his children forsake my Lawe, and walke not in my iudgements:
If his children forsake my law and walk not in my judgments;
If his children forsake my law, And don't walk in my ordinances;
His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
But if his descendants forsake my instructions and fail to obey my regulations,
"If his sons leave My Law and do not do what I say,
If his children should forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
If his sons forsake My law and do not walk in My judgments,
If his children forsake my law and do not walk according to my ordinances,
If his sons forsake my law, And, in my regulations, do not walk;
(88-31) And if his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments:
If his sons forsake my law and do not walk in my judgments,
If his children forsake my law and do not walk according to my rules,
"If his sons abandon My Law And do not walk in My judgments,
"If his descendants reject my teachings and do not follow my laws,
"But if his descendants disobey my law and do not live according to my commands,
If his sons forsake My instruction and do not live by My ordinances,
Forsothe if hise sones forsaken my lawe; and goen not in my domes.
If his sons forsake My law, And in My judgments do not walk;
If his children forsake my law and do not walk according to my ordinances,

Gill's Notes on the Bible
If his children forsake my law,.... The same with the seed before mentioned, the children of the Messiah: it is not said "if he forsakes", which cannot be supposed of Christ, because he knew no sin, nor did any; which yet might be supposed of David, had he been literally meant; but not he, nor his natural children, but the spiritual seed of mystical David, are here designed, who may sin, and do sin, of which there is too much proof and evidence; and who sin not only through infirmity, but sometimes very grossly, and which sins are here expressed by various phrases: they sometimes "forsake the law of God"; do not attend to it, as they should, as the rule of their walk and conversation; are remiss in their observance of it, and obedience to it, and transgress its precepts; or his "doctrine" h, even the doctrine of the Gospel; which may be said to be forsaken when men grow indifferent to it; go off from it in any measure, drop their profession of it, or hold it remissly, or become careless in their attendance on it: forsaking the assembling together to hear it, in some sense, is a forsaking of it; and this the Lord takes notice of, and resents, in his people:
and walk not in my judgments; those laws of his house by which he judges, regulates, and governs his people; by which they are directed by him, as their Judge and Lawgiver, how to behave themselves in the church of God; and in which they are to walk, and continue in the observance of; and so to do is to walk as becomes the Gospel, and worthy of their calling; but to do otherwise is to walk disorderly; and such are cognizable by the Lord, and by his people.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
If his children - His posterity; his successors on the throne.
Forsake my law - If they are not regulated by it in the administration of their government, and in their private lives. It is here supposed that they might forsake his law, or fail to observe it; but still there is the assurance that the power would not depart permanently from the successors of David, but that it would be restored ultimately to that line, and be permanent and eternal.
And walk not in my judgements - And do not obey my commandments.
