Jeremiah 33:19-22

Call to Me: Healing, Restoration, and the Righteous Branch

The chapter moves from the LORD's invitation to call upon him, to the confirmation of judgment, to the promise of healing and forgiveness, to restored joy and worship, to renewed pastoral abundance, and finally to the righteous Branch and the permanence of Davidic and priestly covenant promises.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

19 And the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:

20 “This is what the LORD says: If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that day and night cease to occupy their appointed time,

21 then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant and with My ministers the Levites who are priests, so that David will not have a son to reign on his throne.

22 As the hosts of heaven cannot be counted and as the sand on the seashore cannot be measured, so too will I multiply the descendants of My servant David and the Levites who minister before Me.”
