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.”

    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.

then also the offspring of Israel would cease
