14 ‘Behold, days are coming,’ declares the LORD, ‘when I will fulfill the good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and the house of Judah. 15 In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch of David to spring forth; and He shall execute justice and righteousness on the earth. 16 In those days Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will dwell in safety; and this is the name by which she will be called: the LORD is our righteousness.’ 17 For thus says the LORD, ‘gDavid shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel; 18 hand the Levitical priests shall never lack a man before Me to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings and to prepare sacrificesicontinually.’” | |
19 The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, 20 “Thus says the LORD, ‘If you can 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 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 host of heaven cannot be counted and the sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply thejdescendants of David My servant and the 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 two families which the LORD chose, He has rejected them’? Thus they despise My people, no longer are they as a nationkin their sight. 25 Thus says the LORD, ‘If My covenant for day and night stand not, and thelfixed patterns of heaven and earth I have not established, 26 then I would reject themdescendants of Jacob and David My servant,nnot taking from hisodescendants rulers over thepdescendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But I will restore theirqfortunes and will have mercy on them.’” |
