Jeremiah 33:23-26

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

23 Moreover, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:

24 “Have you not noticed what these people are saying: ‘The LORD has rejected the two families He had chosen’? So they despise My people and no longer regard them as a nation.

25 This is what the LORD says: If I have not established My covenant with the day and the night and the fixed order of heaven and earth,

26 then I would also reject the descendants of Jacob and of My servant David, so as not to take from his descendants rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will restore them from captivity and will have compassion on them.”
