Jeremias 33:20 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 33:20

Thus saith the Lord, if you can break my covenant of the day,
and my covenant of the night
The same with the ordinances of the sun, moon, and stars, ( Jeremiah 31:35 Jeremiah 31:36 ) ; the original constitution and law of nature, settled from the beginning of the world, and observed ever since, in the constant revolution of day and night; and which was formed into a covenant and promise to Noah, after the deluge, that day and night should not cease, as long as the earth remained, ( Genesis 8:22 ) ; and which has never been, nor can be, broken and made void: so that there should not be day and night in their season;
or turn; continually succeeding each other: this, as it would not be attempted, so could never be effected by any mortals, if it were.
