Jeremiah 31:35-37
New American Standard Bible
35 This is what the Lord says,
He who (A)gives the sun for light by day
And the [a]fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
Who (B)stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—
(C)The Lord of armies is His name:
36 “(D)If [b]this fixed order departs
From Me,” declares the Lord,
“Then the descendants of Israel also will (E)cease
To be a nation before Me [c]forever.”
37 This is what the Lord says:
“(F)If the heavens above can be measured
And the foundations of the earth searched out below,
Then I will also (G)reject all the descendants of Israel
For everything that they have done,” declares the Lord.

Jeremiah 31:35-37
Revised Standard Version
35 Thus says the Lord,
who gives the sun for light by day
and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—
the Lord of hosts is his name:
36 “If this fixed order departs
from before me, says the Lord,
then shall the descendants of Israel cease
from being a nation before me for ever.”
37 Thus says the Lord:
“If the heavens above can be measured,
and the foundations of the earth below can be explored,
then I will cast off all the descendants of Israel
for all that they have done,
says the Lord.”
