Jeremiah 33:20“This is what the LORD says: If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that day and night cease to occupy their appointed time,
Jeremiah 33:21then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant and with My ministers the Levites who are priests, so that David will not have a son to reign on his throne.
Jeremiah 33:22As the hosts of heaven cannot be counted and as the sand on the seashore cannot be measured, so too will I multiply the descendants of My servant David and the Levites who minister before Me.”

Jeremiah 33:24“Have you not noticed what these people are saying: ‘The LORD has rejected the two families He had chosen’? So they despise My people and no longer regard them as a nation.
Jeremiah 33:25This is what the LORD says: If I have not established My covenant with the day and the night and the fixed order of heaven and earth,
Jeremiah 33:26then I would also reject the descendants of Jacob and of My servant David, so as not to take from his descendants rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will restore them from captivity and will have compassion on them.”

Ezekiel 36:13For this is what the Lord GOD says: Because people say to you, ‘You devour men and deprive your nation of its children,’
Ezekiel 36:14therefore you will no longer devour men or deprive your nation of its children, declares the Lord GOD.

Ezekiel 37:13Then you, My people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them.
Ezekiel 37:14I will put My Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will do it, declares the LORD.’”
Ezekiel 37:15Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 37:16“And you, son of man, take a single stick and write on it: ‘Belonging to Judah and to the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another stick and write on it: ‘Belonging to Joseph—the stick of Ephraim—and to all the house of Israel associated with him.’
Ezekiel 37:17Then join them together into one stick, so that they become one in your hand.
Ezekiel 37:18When your people ask you, ‘Won’t you explain to us what you mean by these?’
Ezekiel 37:19you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel associated with him, and I will put them together with the stick of Judah. I will make them into a single stick, and they will become one in My hand.’
Ezekiel 37:20When the sticks on which you write are in your hand and in full view of the people,
Ezekiel 37:21you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will take the Israelites out of the nations to which they have gone, and I will gather them from all around and bring them into their own land.
Ezekiel 37:22I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and one king will rule over all of them. Then they will no longer be two nations and will never again be divided into two kingdoms.
Ezekiel 37:23They will no longer defile themselves with their idols or detestable images, or with any of their transgressions. I will save them from all their apostasies by which they sinned, and I will cleanse them. Then they will be My people, and I will be their God.
Ezekiel 37:24My servant David will be king over them, and there will be one shepherd for all of them. They will follow My ordinances and keep and observe My statutes.
Ezekiel 37:25They will live in the land that I gave to My servant Jacob, where your fathers lived. They will live there forever with their children and grandchildren, and My servant David will be their prince forever.
Ezekiel 37:26And I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary among them forever.
Ezekiel 37:27My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be My people.
Ezekiel 37:28Then the nations will know that I the LORD sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is among them forever.’”
