God's Covenant With David

20 "Thus sayeth the LORD: May the covenant which I have made with day and night be broken, that there should not be day and night in due season? 21 Then may my covenant also be broken, which I made with David my servant, and so he not to have a son to reign in his Throne. So shall also the priests and Levites never fail, but serve me. 22 For like as the stars of heaven may not be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and of the Levites my ministers."
