-# Connecting Statement:
-
-The hypothetical statement that begins with the words "If I have not established the covenant" in verse 25 ends here. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hypo]])
-
 # then I will reject the descendants ... and not bring
 
 This completes the sentence that began in verse 25 with the contrary to fact conditional, "If I have not established ... and if I have not fixed ... earth." God said this to assure his people that he will not reject them and he will bring someone to rule over them. Alternate translation: "Just as I have established the covenant ... so I will never reject the descendants ... and I will bring" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hypo]])
