17. For the Lord says: “David will never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel.
18. The priests the Levites won’t lack a man before me to offer burnt offerings, to burn meal offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.”
19. the Lord’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
20. “the Lord says: ‘If you can break my covenant of the day and my covenant of the night, so that there will not be day and night in their time;
21. then may my covenant also be broken with David my servant, that he won’t have a son to reign on his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
