Jeremiah 33:17-26

17For thus says the Lord: aDavid shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel, 18 band the Levitical priests shall never lack a man in my presence to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings, and to make sacrifices forever.”

19The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 20 cThus says the Lord: dIf you can break my covenant with the day and my covenant with the night, eso that day and night will not come at their appointed time, 21 fthen also my covenant with David my servant may be broken, so that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne, and my covenant with the Levitical priests my ministers. 22As gthe host of heaven cannot be numbered and hthe sands of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply the offspring of David my servant, and the Levitical priests who minister to me.”

23The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 24“Have you not observed that these people are saying, ‘The Lord has rejected the two clans that he chose’? Thus they have despised my people so that they are no longer a nation in their sight. 25Thus says the Lord: iIf I have not established my covenant with day and night and the fixed order of heaven and earth, 26then I will reject the offspring of Jacob and David my servant and will not choose one of his offspring to rule over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. jFor I will restore their fortunes and will have mercy on them.”

Luke 1:32-33

32He will be great and will be called the Son of kthe Most High. And the Lord God lwill give to him the throne of mhis father David, 33and he will reign over the house of Jacob nforever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
