Contextual Overview
17 For the Lord says, ‘David will never be without a man to sit on the throne of the people of Israel. 18 And the Levite religious leaders will never be without a man before Me to give burnt gifts, to burn grain gifts, and to make gifts ready on the altar all the time.'" 19 The Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, 20 "This is what the Lord says: ‘If you can break My agreement with the day and night, so that day and night will not come at their set time, 21 then My agreement may also be broken with David My servant, that he will not have a son to rule on his throne. And then My agreement may be broken with My servants, the Levite religious leaders. 22 The stars of heaven cannot be numbered, and the sand of the sea cannot be weighed. In the same way I will make the children of David My servant many, as well as the Levites who serve Me.'" 23 The Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, 24 "Have you not heard what these people are saying? They say, ‘The Lord has turned away from the two families He had chosen.' So they hate My people. They are no longer a nation in their eyes. 25 This is what the Lord says: ‘If I do not keep My agreement with day and night and the laws of heaven and earth, 26 then I will turn away from the children of Jacob and David My servant. Then I will not choose one of his children to rule over the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will bring them back to their land and will have loving-pity on them.'"

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thus saith the Lord, if you can break my covenant of the day,
and my covenant of the night,.... The same with the ordinances of the sun, moon, and stars, Jeremiah 31:35; the original constitution and law of nature, settled from the beginning of the world, and observed ever since, in the constant revolution of day and night; and which was formed into a covenant and promise to Noah, after the deluge, that day and night should not cease, as long as the earth remained, Genesis 8:22; and which has never been, nor can be, broken and made void: so
that there should not be day and night in their season; or turn; continually succeeding each other: this, as it would not be attempted, so could never be effected by any mortals, if it were.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 33:20. If ye can break my covenant of the day — Jeremiah 31:36.
