Jeremiah 33:23-26
Jeremiah 33:23-26 King James Version (KJV)
Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them. Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.
Jeremiah 33:23-26 New Living Translation (NLT)
The LORD gave another message to Jeremiah. He said, “Have you noticed what people are saying?—‘The LORD chose Judah and Israel and then abandoned them!’ They are sneering and saying that Israel is not worthy to be counted as a nation. But this is what the LORD says: I would no more reject my people than I would change my laws that govern night and day, earth and sky. I will never abandon the descendants of Jacob or David, my servant, or change the plan that David’s descendants will rule the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Instead, I will restore them to their land and have mercy on them.”
Jeremiah 33:23-26 The Message (MSG)
GOD’s Message to Jeremiah: “Have you heard the saying that’s making the rounds: ‘The two families GOD chose, Israel and Judah, he disowned’? And have you noticed that my people are treated with contempt, with rumors afoot that there’s nothing to them anymore? “Well, here’s GOD’s response: ‘If my covenant with day and night wasn’t in working order, if sky and earth weren’t functioning the way I set them going, then, but only then, you might think I had disowned the descendants of Jacob and of my servant David, and that I wouldn’t set up any of David’s descendants over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But as it is, I will give them back everything they’ve lost. The last word is, I will have mercy on them.’”

And the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, “Have you not observed what this people have spoken, saying, ‘The two families which the LORD chose, He has rejected them’? Thus they despise My people, no longer are they as a nation in their sight.

But I will restore their fortunes and will have mercy on them.’ ”

The LORD spoke his word to Jeremiah, saying: “Jeremiah, have you heard what the people are saying? They say: ‘The LORD turned away from the two families of Israel and Judah that he chose.’ Now they don’t think of my people as a nation anymore!” This is what the LORD says: “If I had not made my agreement with day and night, and if I had not made the laws for the sky and earth, only then would I turn away from Jacob’s descendants. And only then would I not let the descendants of David my servant rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But I will be kind to them and cause good things to happen to them again.”

YAHWEH spoke to me again, saying, “Have you heard that these people are saying, ‘YAHWEH has forsaken Judah and Israel, whom he chose for himself’? They despise my people and no longer consider them as a nation. I, YAHWEH, say to you that I will never break my covenant with the day and the night or let the heavens and the earth stop obeying my commands.

For I will show kindness to my people Israel, and they will prosper and be successful again.”
