15 “In those days and at that time
    I will raise up a righteous descendant[a] from King David’s line.
    He will do what is just and right throughout the land.
16 In that day Judah will be saved,
    and Jerusalem will live in safety.
And this will be its name:
    ‘The Lord Is Our Righteousness.’[b]

17 For this is what the Lord says: David will have a descendant sitting on the throne of Israel forever. 18 And there will always be Levitical priests to offer burnt offerings and grain offerings and sacrifices to 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.”

23 The Lord gave another message to Jeremiah. He said, 24 “Have you noticed what people are saying?—‘The Lord chose Judah and Israel and then abandoned them!’ They are sneering and saying that Israel is not worthy to be counted as a nation. 25 But this is what the Lord says: I would no more reject my people than I would change my laws that govern night and day, earth and sky. 26 I will never abandon the descendants of Jacob or David, my servant, or change the plan that David’s descendants will rule the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Instead, I will restore them to their land and have mercy on them.”

15 “‘In those days and at that time
    I will make a righteous(A) Branch(B) sprout from David’s line;(C)
    he will do what is just and right in the land.
16 In those days Judah will be saved(D)
    and Jerusalem will live in safety.(E)
This is the name by which it[a] will be called:(F)
    The Lord Our Righteous Savior.’(G)

17 For this is what the Lord says: ‘David will never fail(H) to have a man to sit on the throne of Israel, 18 nor will the Levitical(I) priests(J) ever fail to have a man to stand before me continually to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings and to present sacrifices.(K)’”

19 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 20 “This is what the Lord says: ‘If you can break my covenant with the day(L) and my covenant with the night, so that day and night no longer come at their appointed time,(M) 21 then my covenant(N) with David my servant—and my covenant with the Levites(O) who are priests ministering before me—can be broken and David will no longer have a descendant to reign on his throne.(P) 22 I will make the descendants of David my servant and the Levites who minister before me as countless(Q) as the stars in the sky and as measureless as the sand on the seashore.’”

23 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 24 “Have you not noticed that these people are saying, ‘The Lord has rejected the two kingdoms[b](R) he chose’? So they despise(S) my people and no longer regard them as a nation.(T) 25 This is what the Lord says: ‘If I have not made my covenant with day and night(U) and established the laws(V) of heaven and earth,(W) 26 then I will reject(X) the descendants of Jacob(Y) and David my servant and will not choose one of his sons to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes[c](Z) and have compassion(AA) on them.’”
