MKJV(i)
17 For so says Jehovah, David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel,
18 nor shall the priests the Levites lack a man before Me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle grain offerings, and to do sacrifice forever.
19 And the Word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, saying,
20 So says Jehovah: If you can break My covenant of the day and My covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season,
21 then also may My covenant with David My servant be broken, that he should not have a son to reign on his throne, and My covenant with the Levites the priests, My ministers.
22 As the host of the heavens cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured, so I will multiply the seed of David My servant and the Levites who minister to Me.
23 And the Word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 Do you not consider what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which Jehovah has chosen, He has even cast them off? So they have despised My people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
25 So says Jehovah: If My covenant is not with day and night, and if I have not given the ordinances of the heavens and the earth,
26 then I will 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 bring back their captivity, and have mercy on them.
