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 And the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, saying, 24 Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which Jehovah did choose, he hath cast them off? thus do they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them. 25 Thus saith Jehovah: If my covenant of day and night stand not, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; 26 then will I also cast away the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will [a]cause their captivity to return, and will have mercy on them.
