Significance: Both Jeremiah 33:14-22 and 31:35-37 use the permanence of the cosmic order as a guarantee of God's covenant commitments. Jeremiah 31:35 appeals to God "who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and stars for light by night" (חֻקֹּת, chuqqot, "fixed orders") as the standard of permanence — Israel will not "cease from being a nation" as long as these cosmic ordinances endure. Jeremiah 33:20 echoes this by referring to "My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night" as equally unbreakable. This inner-Jeremianic parallel applies the same nature-covenant argument to two distinct promises: Israel's national permanence (ch. 31) and the Davidic-Levitical institutional permanence (ch. 33). Both ground covenant certainty in creation's regularity.
