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^(A) and my covenant with the night, so that day and night no longer come at their appointed time,^{(B) 21} then my covenant^(C) with David my servant—and my covenant with the Levites^(D) who are priests ministering before me—can be broken and David will no longer have a descendant to reign on his throne.^{(E) 22} I will make the descendants of David my servant and the Levites who minister before me as countless^(F) as the stars in the sky and as measureless as the sand on the seashore.’”
