23. Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
24. “Don’t consider what this people has spoken, saying, ‘The two families which Yahweh chose, he has cast them off?’ Thus they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.”
25. Yahweh says: “If my covenant of day and night fails, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
26. then I will also cast away the offspring of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his offspring to be rulers over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and will have mercy on them.”
