Jeremiah:33:17-26
rsv@Jeremiah:33:17 @ "For thus says the LORD: David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel,
rsv@Jeremiah:33:18 @ and the Levitical priests shall never lack a man in my presence to offer burnt offerings, to burn cereal offerings, and to make sacrifices for ever."
rsv@Jeremiah:33:19 @ The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
rsv@Jeremiah:33:20 @ "Thus says the LORD: If you can break my covenant with the day and my covenant with the night, so that day and night will not come at their appointed time,
rsv@Jeremiah:33:21 @ then also my covenant with David my servant may be broken, so that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne, and my covenant with the Levitical priests my ministers.
rsv@Jeremiah:33:22 @ As the host of heaven cannot be numbered and the sands of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply the descendants of David my servant, and the Levitical priests who minister to me."
rsv@Jeremiah:33:23 @ The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
rsv@Jeremiah:33:24 @ "Have you not observed what these people are saying, `The LORD has rejected the two families which he chose'? Thus they have despised my people so that they are no longer a nation in their sight.
rsv@Jeremiah:33:25 @ Thus says the LORD: If I have not established my covenant with day and night and the ordinances of heaven and earth,
rsv@Jeremiah:33:26 @ then I will reject the descendants of Jacob and David my servant and will not choose one of his descendants to rule over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes, and will have mercy upon them."
