Jeremiah 33:20–26

²⁰Thus saith the Lord; ^mIf you can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; ²¹ⁿthen may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son ⁱto reign upon his throne; and with ^jthe Levites the priests, my ministers. ²²As ^opthe host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither ^qthe sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.

²³Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, ²⁴Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the Lord hath chosen, he hath even ^pcast them off? thus they have despised my people, ^qqthat they should be no more a nation before them. ²⁵Thus saith the Lord; ^mIf my covenant be not with day and night, and ^rif I have not appointed ^sthe ordinances of heaven and earth; ^26pthen will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for ^tI will cause their captivity to return, ^uand have mercy on them.
