Jeremiah 33:20–26

²⁰“Thus says the Lord: ‘If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that there will not be day and night in their season, ²¹then ^zMy covenant may also be broken with David My servant, so that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levites, the priests, My ministers. ²²As ^athe host of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured, so will I ^bmultiply the descendants of David My servant and the ^cLevites who minister to Me.’ ”

²³Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, ²⁴“Have you not considered what these people have spoken, saying, ‘The two families which the Lord has chosen, He has also cast them off’? Thus they have ^ddespised My people, as if they should no more be a nation before them.

²⁵“Thus says the Lord: ‘If ^eMy covenant is not with day and night, and if I have not ^fappointed the ordinances of heaven and earth, ^26gthen I will ^hcast away the descendants of Jacob and David My servant, so that I will not take any of his descendants to be rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will cause their captives to return, and will have mercy on them.’ ”
