What does 2 Samuel 7:14 mean?

'I’ll be like a father to him, and he’ll be like a son to me. If he does wrong, I’ll correct him with human discipline, but I won’t take away my love from him.' 2 Samuel 7:14 - Modern Text Bible

(God promises a close, fatherly relationship with David’s heir, and even if he messes up, God’s commitment won’t end.)
