15 In those days and at that time,I will make a righteous branch sprout from David’s family.He will do what is fair and right in the land.
16 At this time Judah will be saved.The people of Jerusalem will live in safety.The branch will be named:The Lord Does What Is Right.”
17 This is what the Lord says: “Someone from David’s family will always sit on the throne. And he will rule the family of Israel.
18 And there will always be priests from the family of Levi. Those priests will always stand before me. And they will offer burnt offerings and grain offerings. And they will offer sacrifices to me.”
19 The Lord spoke his word to Jeremiah.
20 “This is what the Lord says: I have an agreement with day and night. I agreed that they will continue forever. Day and night will always come at the right times. If you could change that agreement,
21 you could also change my agreement with David and Levi. Only then would descendants from my servant David not be the kings on their thrones. And only then would the family of Levi not be priests serving me in the Temple.
