Jeremiah 33:17-26

17For thus says the Lord, ‘1David shall 2never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel; 183and the 4Levitical priests shall never lack a man before Me to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings and to 5prepare sacrifices 6continually.’”

19The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, 20“Thus says the Lord, ‘If you can 7break My covenant for the day and My covenant for the night, so that day and night will not be at their appointed time, 21then 8My covenant may also be broken with David My servant so that he will not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levitical priests, My ministers. 22As the 9host of heaven cannot be counted and the 10sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will 11multiply the 12descendants of David My servant and the 13Levites who minister to Me.’”

23And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, 24“Have you not observed what this people have spoken, saying, ‘The 14two families which the Lord chose, He has 15rejected them’? Thus they 16despise My people, no longer are they as a nation 17in their sight. 25Thus says the Lord, ‘If My 18covenant for day and night stand not, and the 19fixed patterns of heaven and earth I have 20not established, 26then I would 21reject the 22descendants of Jacob and David My servant, 23not taking from his 24descendants 25rulers over the 26descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But I will 27restore their 28fortunes and will have 29mercy on them.’”
