Contextual Overview

¹⁷ The king of Israel will be one of David's descendants, ¹⁸ and there will always be priests from the Levi tribe serving at my altar and offering sacrifices to please me and to give thanks. ¹⁹ Then the Lord told me: ²⁰ I, the Lord , have an agreement with day and night, so they always come at the right time. You can't break the agreement I made with them, ²¹ and you can't break the agreements I have made with David's family and with the priests from the Levi tribe who serve at my altar. A descendant of David will always rule as king of Israel, ²² and there will be more descendants of David and of the priests from the Levi tribe than stars in the sky or grains of sand on the beach. ²³ The Lord also said: ²⁴ You've heard foreigners insult my people by saying, "The Lord chose Israel and Judah, but now he has rejected them, and they are no longer a nation." ²⁵ Jeremiah, I will never break my agreement with the day and the night or let the sky and the earth stop obeying my commands. ²⁶ In the same way, I will never reject the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob or break my promise that they will always have a descendant of David as their king. I will be kind to my people Israel, and they will be successful again.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thus saith the Lord,.... In answer to the above calumny:

if my covenant [be] not with day and night; that is, if it should not stand; if it should be broken; or there should be no longer a succession of day and night:

[and if] I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; concerning the course of the sun, moon, and stars, and the influence of the heavenly bodies; and concerning the fruits of the earth, the seasons of the year, seedtime and harvest, summer and winter; if these are not settled and fixed, and do not appear according to appointment and promise.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The ordinances of heaven and earth - i. e., the whole order of nature Nature is not more firmly established than God’s purposes in grace.
