Promise of the Perpetuity of the Davidic Dynasty and the Levitical Priesthood

17 For thus saith Jehovah: David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; 18 neither shall the Levitical priests ever, for all time to come, want a man to offer burnt-offerings in My presence or to burn oblations or to do sacrifice.

19 Further, there came to Jeremiah this message from Jehovah, 20 Thus saith Jehovah: Not until ye can annul My covenant with Day and Night, so that Day and Night shall come no more at their appointed time – 21 not until then shall My covenant be annulled with David My servant, that a son of his should reign upon his throne; or My covenant with the Levitical priests, My ministers. 22 Numberless as the host of heaven, measureless as the sand of the sea, shall I multiply the descendants of David, My servant, and the Levitical priests, My ministers.

23 Jeremiah received this further message from Jehovah: 24 Hast thou observed what this people has been saying? They have said that Jehovah has cast off the two families of His choice, and in contempt for His people has ordained that they shall no longer exist as a nation before Him? 25 Well, thus saith Jehovah: As surely as I have created Day and Night and determined the order of heaven and earth, 26 so surely will I never cast off the descendants of Jacob and of David My servant, or fail to select his descendants as rulers over the race of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; for I will have compassion upon them and restore their fortunes.
