033:020 Thus says Yahweh: If you can break my covenant of the day,
and my covenant of the night, so that there shall not be day
and night in their season;
033:021 then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant,
that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne;
and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
033:022 As the army of the sky can't be numbered, neither the sand
of the sea measured; so will I multiply the seed of David
my servant, and the Levites who minister to me.
033:023 The word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,
033:024 Don't you consider what this people has spoken, saying, The two
families which Yahweh did choose, he has cast them off?
thus do they despise my people, that they should be no more

if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
033:026 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:
