Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;
This is what the LORD says: If you can break my promise that controls the day and my promise that controls the night, so that day and night no longer come at their proper times;
God is saying that His promises are as reliable and unchangeable as the daily cycle of day and night.
