And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah For the further explanation and confirmation of what is before said; and which came at the same time as the other; this being not a new prophecy, but an illustration of the former: saying; as follows:
17
For thus saith the Lord: There shall not be cut off from David a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel.
18
Neither shall there be cut off from the priests and Levites a man before my face to offer holocausts, and to burn sacrifices, and to kill victims continually.
19
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:
20
Thus saith the Lord: if my covenant, with the day can be made void, and my covenant with the night, that there should not be day and night in their season:
21
Also my covenant with David my servant may be made void, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne, and with the Levites and priests my ministers.
