Rotherham(i)
20 Thus, saith Yahweh, If ye can break, My covenant of the day, and, My covenant of the night, That there be not day and night in their season,
21 My covenant also, may be broken, With David my servant, that he shall not have a son, to reign upon his throne,––And with the Levites the priests, mine attendants:
22 As, the host of the heavens, cannot be recorded, Nor, the sand of the sea, be measured, So, will I multiply, The seed of David my servant, And the Levites who attend upon, me.
23 And the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah, saying:
24 Hast thou not observed, what, this people, have spoken, saying, The two families which Yahweh did choose, he hath even cast them off? And so, my people, they despise, as though they could not again, become a nation in their sight!
25 Thus, saith Yahweh, If, my covenant of day and night, the ordinances of the heavens and the earth, I did not appoint,
26 The seed of Jacob also, and of David my servant, might I cast off, so as not to take of his seed as rulers, unto the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,––For I will bring back them of their captivity, and will have compassion upon them.
