Jeremiah 33:23-26
Expanded Bible
23 The Lord spoke his word to Jeremiah, saying: 24 “Have you [C Jeremiah] heard what the people are saying? They say: ‘The Lord ·turned away from [rejected] the two ·families [kingdoms; C of Israel and Judah] that he chose.’ Now they [L hold my people in such contempt that they] don’t think of them as a nation anymore!”
25 This is what the Lord says: “If I had not made my ·agreement [covenant; treaty] with day and night [v. 20], and if I had not made the ·laws [statutes; ordinances; requirements] for the ·sky [heavens] and earth, 26 only then would I ·turn away from [reject] Jacob’s ·descendants [L seed]. And only then would I not let the ·descendants [L seed] of David my servant rule over the ·descendants [L seed] of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But I will be ·kind [compassionate] to them and ·cause good things to happen to them [restore their fortunes] again.”

New American Standard Bible
23 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, 24 “Have you not observed what these people have asserted, saying, ‘The (A)two families which the Lord chose, He has (B)rejected them’? So they (C)despise My people as no longer being a nation [a]in their sight. 25 This is what the Lord says: ‘If My (D)covenant for day and night does not continue, and I have (E)not established the [b]fixed patterns of heaven and earth, 26 then I would (F)reject the [c]descendants of Jacob and David My servant, so as not to take from his [d]descendants (G)rulers over the [e]descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But I will (H)restore their fortunes and have (I)mercy on them.’”
