Psalms 89:32
30 If his sons forsake My law and do not walk in My judgments,
31 if they violate My statutes and fail to keep My commandments,
I will attend to their transgression with the rod, and to their iniquity with stripes.
33 But I will not withdraw My loving devotion from him, nor ever betray My faithfulness.
34 I will not violate My covenant or alter the utterance of My lips.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
