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 the LORD: David shall never want a man to sit on the throne of the house of Yisra'el;
18
neither shall the Kohanim the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to burn meal-offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.
19
The word of the LORD came to Yirmeyahu, saying,
20
Thus says the LORD: 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;
21
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 Kohanim, my ministers.
