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 says Yahweh: 'A man who sits on the throne of the house of Israel will not be cut off for David.
18
And for the priests, a man from the Levites [who] offers burnt offerings and [who] burns grain offerings and [who] brings sacrifices will not be cut off {before me} {forever}.'"
19
And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, {saying},
20
"Thus says Yahweh: 'If you could break my covenant [with] the day, and my covenant [with] the night, so that day and night [would] not come at their time,
21
then my covenant could be broken with David my servant, from {having} a son who could rule on his throne, and with the Levites, the priests, my ministers.
