Jeremiah 33:24

Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the Lord hath chosen, namely, Israel and Judah, as representing His Church of all times, He hath even cast them off? This was the statement made by some of the reprobate Jews in order to ridicule the true believers. Thus they have despised My people that they should be no more a nation before them, that is, before their eyes, according to their opinion. The Lord reproves this notion with great sternness.
