The Eternal Covenants of Kingship and Priesthood

Jeremiah 33:17-22

The Eternal Covenants of Kingship and Priesthood

17
For thus saith the Lord: There shall not be cut off from David a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel.
18
Neither shall there be cut off from the priests and Levites a man before my face to offer holocausts, and to burn sacrifices, and to kill victims continually.
19
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
20
Thus saith the Lord: if my covenant, with the day can be made void, and my covenant with the night, that there should not be day and night in their season:
21
Also my covenant with David my servant may be made void, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne, and with the Levites and priests my ministers.
22
As the stars of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea be measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites my ministers.
