Jeremiah 33:17-18

17 For I, the Lord, promise: “David will never lack a successor to occupy ^{▼▼ Heb “a man shall not be cut off to David [i.e., belonging to the Davidic line] sitting on the throne of the house of Israel.”} the throne over the nation of Israel. ^{▼▼ It should be noted once again that the reference is to all Israel, not just to Judah (cf. Jer 23:5–6; 30:9).} 18 Nor will the Levitical priests ever lack someone to stand before me and continually offer up burnt offerings, sacrifice cereal offerings, and offer the other sacrifices.”’” ^{▼▼ Heb “And to the Levites, the priests [= the Levitical priests, the apposition in place of the adjective] there shall not be cut off a man from before me who offers up burnt offering, sacrifices a cereal offering, or makes a sacrifice all the days.”}
