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.’”

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.”
