19 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, 20 “This is what the Lord says: ‘If you can (A)break My covenant for the day and My covenant for the night, so that day and night do not occur at their proper time, 21 then (B)My covenant with David My servant may also be broken, so that he will not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levitical priests, My ministers. 22 As the (C)heavenly [a]lights cannot be counted, and the (D)sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will (E)multiply the [b]descendants of My servant David and the (F)Levites who serve Me.’”

19 Then this message came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 20 “This is what the Lord says: If you can break my covenant with the day and the night so that one does not follow the other, 21 only then will my covenant with my servant David be broken. Only then will he no longer have a descendant to reign on his throne. The same is true for my covenant with the Levitical priests who minister before me. 22 And as the stars of the sky cannot be counted and the sand on the seashore cannot be measured, so I will multiply the descendants of my servant David and the Levites who minister before me.”
