Contextual Overview

¹⁷ For this is what Adonai says: "There will never be cut off from David a man to occupy the throne of the house of Isra'el. ¹⁸ Nor will there ever be cut off from the cohanim who are L'vi'im a man before me to offer burnt offerings, burn grain offerings and offer sacrifices every day." ¹⁹ This word of Adonai came to Yirmeyahu: ²⁰ "Here is what Adonai says: ‘If you can break my covenant with the day and my covenant with the night, so that daytime and nighttime no longer come when they are supposed to, ²¹ then my covenant with my servant David also can be broken, so that he will not have a descendant to reign from his throne or L'vi'im who are cohanim to minister to me. ²² To the degree that the armies of heaven are past counting and the sand by the sea past measuring, I will increase the descendants of my servant David and the L'vi'im ministering to me.'" ²³ This word of Adonai came to Yirmeyahu: ²⁴ "Haven't you noticed that these people are saying, ‘ Adonai has rejected the two families he chose'? Hence they despise my people and no longer look at them as a nation. ²⁵ Here is what Adonai says: ‘If I have not established my covenant with day and night and fixed the laws for sky and earth, ²⁶ then I will also reject the descendants of Ya‘akov and of my servant David, not choosing from his descendants people to rule over the descendants of Avraham, Yis'chak and Ya‘akov. For I will cause their captives to come back, and I will show them compassion.'"

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.
