³⁶ “If these ordinances depart from before me,” says Yahweh,
    “then the offspring of Israel also will cease from being a nation before me forever.”
³⁷ Yahweh says: “If heaven above can be measured,
    and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,
    then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done,” says Yahweh.

⁵ Because you have taken my silver and my gold,
    and have carried my finest treasures into your temples,
⁶     and have sold the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem to the sons of the Greeks,
    that you may remove them far from their border.
⁷ Behold, I will stir them up out of the place where you have sold them,
    and will return your repayment on your own head;
⁸ and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah,
    and they will sell them to the men of Sheba,
    to a faraway nation,
    for Yahweh has spoken it.”
