Jeremiah 33:20-26
20 “Thus says the Lord, ‘If you can (A)break My covenant for the day and My covenant for the night, so that day and night will not be at their appointed time,
21 then (B)My 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.
22 As the (C)host of heaven cannot be counted and the (D)sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will (E)multiply the (a)descendants of David My servant and the (F)Levites who minister to Me.’”
23 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 “Have you not observed what this people have spoken, saying, ‘The (G)two families which the Lord chose, He has (H)rejected them’? Thus they (I)despise My people, no longer are they as a nation (b)in their sight.
25 Thus says the Lord, ‘If My (J)covenant for day and night stand not, and the (c)fixed patterns of heaven and earth I have (K)not established,
26 then I would (L)reject the (d)descendants of Jacob and David My servant, (e)not taking from his (f)descendants (M)rulers over the (g)descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But I will (N)restore their (h)fortunes and will have (O)mercy on them.’”
