Jeremiah 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.

Jeremiah 33:20 In-Context

18 et de sacerdotibus et Levitis non interibit vir a facie mea qui offerat holocaustomata et incendat sacrificium et caedat victimas cunctis diebus

19 et factum est verbum Domini ad Hieremiam dicens

20 haec dicit Dominus si irritum fieri potest pactum meum cum die et pactum meum cum nocte ut non sit dies et nox in tempore suo

21 et pactum meum irritum esse poterit cum David servo meo ut non sit ex eo filius qui regnet in throno eius et Levitae et sacerdotes ministri mei

22 sicuti numerari non possunt stellae caeli et metiri harena maris sic multiplicabo semen David servi mei et Levitas ministros meos
