Jeremiah 33:19–22

God compares his covenant with David to the fixed order of day and night

19And the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah, saying,

20“Thus says YHWH: If you can break my covenant with the day and my covenant with the night, so that there will not be day and night in their time,

21then also my covenant may be broken with David my servant, so that he will not have a son reigning on his throne, and with the Levites, the priests, my ministers.

22As the army of the heavens cannot be counted, and the sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply the offspring of David my servant, and the Levites who minister to me.”

17For thus says YHWH: David will never lack a man sitting on the throne of the house of Israel;

18and the priests, the Levites, will never lack a man before me offering burnt offering, and offering up in smoke grain offering, and making sacrifice all the days.”

23And the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah, saying,

24“Have you not seen what this people have spoken, saying, ‘The two families that YHWH chose, he has rejected them’? And my people they despise, so that it is no longer a nation in their sight.
