Jeremiah 33:24-26

New Catholic Bible

²⁴ Have you not noticed what these people say, “The two families that were chosen by the Lord have been rejected by him”? As a result, they look upon my people with such contempt that they no longer regard them as a nation.

²⁵ Thus says the Lord: If I had not established my covenant with day and night and fixed the laws governing heaven and earth, ²⁶ then I would reject the descendants of Jacob and of my servant David and not choose any of David’s descendants to serve as rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes and have mercy upon them.
