²⁰ “This is what the Lord says: ‘If you can break my covenant with the day^(A) and my covenant with the night, so that day and night no longer come at their appointed time,^(B)

²¹ then my covenant^(A) with David my servant—and my covenant with the Levites^(B) who are priests ministering before me—can be broken and David will no longer have a descendant to reign on his throne.^(C)

And so through him the “Amen”^(G) is spoken by us to the glory of God.^(H)
