Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 11 Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house.
    • B 12 And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels,
      • C 12b and I will establish his kingdom.
        • D 13a He shall build an house for my name,
      • C' 13b and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
    • B' 14-15 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men: But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
  • A' 16 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
