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.
