Jeremiah 33:23 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,

Jeremiah 33:24 “Have you not seen what this people have spoken, saying, ‘The two families which Yahweh chose, He has rejected them’? Thus they have spurned My people from being a nation any longer in their sight.

Jeremiah 33:25 Thus says Yahweh, ‘If My covenant for day and night stand not, and the statutes for heaven and earth I have not established,

Study Lenses

The verse centers on "thus", "says", "yahweh", "covenant", "night", "stand", "statutes", and "heaven". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "thus" and "says", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 24's "Have you not seen what this people..." into verse 26's "then I would reject the seed of...", so "thus" and "says" belong inside that flow. In Jeremiah context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "thus" and "says" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
