Jeremiah 33:20-26
20“This is what the Lord says: ‘If you can 1break My covenant for the day and My covenant for the night, so that day and night do not occur at their proper time, 21then 2My covenant with David My servant may also be broken, so that he will not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levitical priests, My ministers. 22As the 3heavenly 4lights cannot be counted, and the 5sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will 6multiply the 7descendants of My servant David and the 8Levites who serve Me.’”
23And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, 24“Have you not observed what these people have asserted, saying, ‘The 9two families which the Lord chose, He has 10rejected them’? So they 11despise My people as no longer being a nation 12in their sight. 25This is what the Lord says: ‘If My 13covenant for day and night does not continue, and I have 14not established the 15fixed patterns of heaven and earth, 26then I would 16reject the 17descendants of Jacob and David My servant, so as not to take from his 18descendants 19rulers over the 20descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But I will 21restore their fortunes and have 22mercy on them.’”
