2 Samuel 7:15
Hebrew Bible
14 I will become his father and he will become my son. When he sins, I will correct him with the rod of men and with wounds inflicted by human beings. 15 But my loyal love will not be removed from him as I removed it from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 Your house and your kingdom will stand before me permanently; your dynasty will be permanent.’”

LXX 2 Samuel 7:15
Septuagint
14 I will be like a father to him and he will be like a son to me. And if he should demonstrate injustice, then I will disgrace him with the rod of man and with the infections from the sons of mortals. 15 But I will not withdraw my compassion from him as I withdrew it from those whom I withdrew from my face. 16 And his house as well as his kingdom will be made steadfast before me for eternity. And his throne will be established for eternity.” ’”

A speech of God that considers a possibility that has not yet been realized is not compatible with divine omniscience ..."
