23. And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying:
24. `Hast thou not considered what this people have spoken, saying: The two families on which Jehovah fixed, He doth reject them, And my people they despise--So that they are no more a people before them!
25. Thus said Jehovah: If My covenant [is] not daily and nightly, The statutes of heaven and earth I have not appointed--
26. Also the seed of Jacob, and David My servant, I reject, Against taking from his seed rulers For the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, For I turn back [to] their captivity, and have pitied them.'
