22. And just as the stars in the sky can’t be numbered and the sand on the shore can’t be counted, so I will increase the descendants of my servant David and the Levites who minister before me.
23. Then the Lord’s word came to Jeremiah:
24. Aren’t you aware of what people are saying: "The Lord has rejected the two families that he had chosen"? They are insulting my people as if they no longer belong to me.
25. The Lord proclaims: I would no sooner break my covenant with day and night or the laws of heaven and earth
26. than I would reject the descendants of Jacob and my servant David and his descendants as rulers for the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will restore the captives and have compassion on them.
