Jeremiah 33:14-26 - God's Covenant With David

14 Behold, the time cometh, sayeth the LORD, that I will perform the good thing, which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. 15 Behold, the days will come saith the LORD, that I will stir up unto David a righteous branch, and he shall reign a king, and shall be wise, and shall do equity and justice in the earth. 16 And in his days Judah shall be safe, and Israel shall dwell without fear. And this is the name that they shall call him: 'The LORD our righteousness.'

17 "For thus the LORD promiseth: David shall never want one to sit upon the stool of the house of Israel: 18 neither shall the priests and Levites want one to offer always before me burnt offerings, to kindle the meat offerings, and to prepare the sacrifices."

19 And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah after this manner, 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."

23 Moreover, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, 24 "Considerest thou not what this people speaketh? 'Two kindreds,' say they, 'had the LORD chosen, and those same two hath he cast away.' For so far is my people come, that they have no hope to come together any more, and to be one people again. 25 Therefore thus sayeth the LORD: If I have made no covenant with day and night, and given no statute unto heaven and earth; 26 then will I also cast away the seed of David my servant: so that I will take no prince out of his seed, to rule the posterity of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But yet I will turn again their captivity, and be merciful unto them."
