[P-Marlowe]

David shall never lack a man
To sit on the throne of the house of Israel,
Nor shall the priests the Levites lack a man
Before Me to offer burnt offerings,
And to kindle grain offerings,
And to do sacrifice forever. Jeremiah (33:17-18)

Holy Cow!

David shall never lack a man
To sit on the throne of the house of Israel,
Nor shall the priests the Levites lack a man
Before Me to offer burnt offerings,
And to kindle grain offerings,
And to do sacrifice forever. Jeremiah (33:17-18)

"Forever", but you must interpret that to mean except for right now (actually for the last 2000 years or so). Correct?
