35 Yahweh, who gives the sun for a light by day,
    and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night,
who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar;
    Yahweh of Armies is his name, says:
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.

who stirs up the sea(C)

    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

    because of all they have done,”
declares the Lord.
