Jeremiah 33:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² As the stars of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea be measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites my ministers.

²³ And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:

²⁴ Hast thou not seen what this people hath spoken, saying: The two families which the Lord had chosen, are cast off: and they have despised my people, so that it is no more a nation before them?
