# then you will be able to break my covenant with David my servant
# then you will be able to break my covenant with David ... and my covenant with the Levitical priests, my servants
The hypothetical statement that begins with the words "If you can break my covenant ... times," in verse 20 ends here. No one can change day and night, and no one can change God's covenant with David. Alternate translation: "You know that you cannot break my covenant ...times, so you know that you will never be able to break my covenant with David my servant" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hypo]])
This completes the sentence that began in verse 20 with the contrary to fact conditional, "If you can break my covenant ... proper times." God said this to assure his people that no one can change God's covenants with David and the Levitical priests. This would give the people hope that God will keep his covenant. Alternate translation: "Just as you cannot break my covenant ... times, so you will never be able to break my covenant with David ... and my covenant with the Levitical priests, my servants" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hypo]])
