24. “Don’t consider what this people has spoken, saying, ‘Has the Lord cast off the two families which he chose?’ Thus they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.”
25. the Lord says: “If my covenant of day and night fails, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
26. then I will also cast away the offspring of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his offspring to be rulers over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to be reversed and will have mercy on them.”
