Jeremiah 33:20-26

20“Thus says the Lord, ‘If you can 1break My covenant for the day and My covenant for the night, so that day and night will not be at their appointed time, 21then 2My 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 3host of heaven cannot be counted and the 4sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will 5multiply the 6descendants of David My servant and the 7Levites 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 8two families which the Lord chose, He has 9rejected them’? Thus they 10despise My people, no longer are they as a nation 11in their sight. 25Thus says the Lord, ‘If My 12covenant for day and night stand not, and the 13fixed patterns of heaven and earth I have 14not established, 26then I would 15reject the 16descendants of Jacob and David My servant, 17not taking from his 18descendants 19rulers over the 20descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But I will 21restore their 22fortunes and will have 23mercy on them.’”
