Jeremiah 33:20–26

²⁰“Thus says Yahweh: ‘If you could break my covenant with the day, and my covenant with the night, so that day and night would not come at their time, ²¹then my covenant could be broken with David my servant, from having^c a son who could rule on his throne, and with the Levites, the priests, my ministers. ²²As the host of heaven cannot be counted, and the sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will make numerous the offspring of David my servant and the Levites who minister to me.’ ” ²³And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,^{d 24}“Have you not seen how these people speak, saying,^e ‘The two clans^f whom Yahweh chose, he has also rejected them’? Thus they spurn my people from being a nation before them^g any longer. ²⁵Thus says Yahweh: ‘If my covenant with day and with night, the regulations of heaven and earth, I had not established, ²⁶then the offspring of Jacob and David my servant I would reject, from choosing rulers from his offspring over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will restore their fortunes^h and I will have compassion on them.’ ”
