Sorry to just respond to this last bit, but everyone else seems to be handling the rest.

The grammar could have looked like this....
13 He is the one that will build a house for my name, and I shall certainly establish the throne of his kingdom firmly to time indefinite I myself shall become his father, and he himself will become my son.
14 When he does wrong, I will also reprove him with the rod of men and with the strokes of the sons of Adam.
Can you please tell me how that applies to Jesus? When did he do wrong so that God had to reprove him? I thought Jesus was perfect and without sin?
"You are metaphysicians. You can prove anything by metaphysics; and having done so, every metaphysician can prove every other metaphysician wrong--to his own satisfaction. You are anarchists in the realm of thought. And you are mad cosmos-makers. Each of you dwells in a cosmos of his own making, created out of his own fancies and desires. You do not know the real world in which you live, and your thinking has no place in the real world except in so far as it is phenomena of mental aberration." -
