²³ And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,^{[a] 24} “Have you not seen how these people speak, saying,^[b] ‘The two clans^[c] whom Yahweh chose, he has also rejected them’? Thus they spurn my people from being a nation before them^[d] any longer. ²⁵ Thus says Yahweh: ‘If my covenant with day and with night, the regulations of heaven and earth, I had not established, ²⁶ then the offspring of Jacob and David my servant I would reject, from choosing rulers from his offspring over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will restore their fortunes^[e] and I will have compassion on them.’”
