ISV(i)
20 “This is what the LORD says: ‘If you could break my covenant with the day and night so that day and night wouldn’t occur at the proper time,
21 then my covenant with my servant David might also be broken so that he wouldn’t have a son sitting on his throne, and so also with my servants the Levitical priests.
22 As the heavenly bodies cannot be counted, and the sands of the sea cannot be measured, so I’ll multiply the descendants of my servant David and the descendants of Levi who serve me.’”
23 This message from the LORD came to Jeremiah: 24 “Haven’t you noticed what these people have been saying?—‘The LORD rejected the two families that he had chosen!’ They have contempt for my people and no longer consider them a nation. 25 This is what the LORD says: ‘If I had not established my covenant for day and night and the laws that govern the heavens and earth, 26 then I might reject the descendants of Jacob and my servant David by not taking some of his descendants as rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Indeed, I’ll restore their fortunes, and I’ll have compassion on them.’”
