Jeremiah 31:35-40
New King James Version
Jeremiah 31:35-40
New King James Version
35 Thus says the Lord,
(A)Who gives the sun for a light by day,
The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night,
Who disturbs (B)the sea,
And its waves roar
(C)(The Lord of hosts is His name):
36 “If (D)those ordinances depart
From before Me, says the Lord,
Then the seed of Israel shall also cease
From being a nation before Me forever.”
37 Thus says the Lord:
(E)“If heaven above can be measured,
And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,
I will also (F)cast off all the seed of Israel
For all that they have done, says the Lord.
38 “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that the city shall be built for the Lord (G)from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate. 39 (H)The surveyor’s line shall again extend straight forward over the hill Gareb; then it shall turn toward Goath. 40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields as far as the Brook Kidron, (I)to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, (J)shall be holy to the Lord. It shall not be plucked up or thrown down anymore forever.”

New International Version
Jeremiah 31:35-40
New International Version
35 This is what the Lord says,
he who appoints(A) the sun
to shine by day,
who decrees the moon and stars
to shine by night,(B)
who stirs up the sea(C)
so that its waves roar(D)—
the Lord Almighty is his name:(E)
36 “Only if these decrees(F) vanish from my sight,”
declares the Lord,
“will Israel(G) ever cease
being a nation before me.”
37 This is what the Lord says:
“Only if the heavens above can be measured(H)
and the foundations of the earth below be searched out
will I reject(I) all the descendants of Israel
because of all they have done,”
declares the Lord.
38 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when this city will be rebuilt(J) for me from the Tower of Hananel(K) to the Corner Gate.(L) 39 The measuring line(M) will stretch from there straight to the hill of Gareb and then turn to Goah. 40 The whole valley(N) where dead bodies(O) and ashes are thrown, and all the terraces out to the Kidron Valley(P) on the east as far as the corner of the Horse Gate,(Q) will be holy(R) to the Lord. The city will never again be uprooted or demolished.”
