Context of Jeremiah 33:23
21Then my arrangement with my servant David could be broken, and he would not have a descendant to rule on his throne. The arrangement with my servants the Levitical priests could also be broken. 22I will multiply the descendants of my servant David and the Levites who serve me like the stars of heaven that cannot be counted and the sand on the seashore that cannot be measured.” Then the Lord spoke his word to Jeremiah. He said, 24“Haven’t you noticed what these people have said? They have said that the Lord has rejected the two families he has chosen. They despise my people, and they no longer consider them a nation. 25“This is what the Lord says: Suppose I hadn’t made an arrangement with day and night or made laws for heaven and earth.
