Context of Jeremiah 33:25

23Moreover the word of Yhwh came to Jeremiah, saying, 24Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which Yhwh hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them. Thus saith Yhwh; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; 26Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.
