Jeremiah 33:25 (YLT)

Passage

Thus said Jehovah: If My covenant <FI>is<Fi> not daily and nightly, The statutes of heaven and earth I have not appointed--

Nearby Context

Jeremiah 33:23 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying:

Jeremiah 33:24 `Hast thou not considered what this people have spoken, saying: The two families on which Jehovah fixed, He doth reject them, And my people they despise--So that they are no more a people before them!

Jeremiah 33:25 Thus said Jehovah: If My covenant <FI>is<Fi> not daily and nightly, The statutes of heaven and earth I have not appointed--

Jeremiah 33:26 Also the seed of Jacob, and David My servant, I reject, Against taking from his seed rulers For the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, For I turn back <FI>to<Fi> their captivity, and have pitied them.'

Study Lenses

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

The nearby context moves from verse 24's "Hast thou not considered what this people..." into verse 26's "Also the seed of Jacob and David...", so "thus" and "said" 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 "said" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
