Jeremiah 31:35-37
Lexham English Bible
35 Thus says Yahweh, who gives the sun for light by day, the regulations of the moon and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea and its waves roar—Yahweh of hosts is his name. 36 “If these rules would cease from before me,”[a] declares[b] Yahweh, “also the offspring of Israel would cease from being a nation before me[c] forever.”[d] 37 Thus says Yahweh, “If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth below can be explored, also I will reject all the offspring of Israel because of all that they have done,” declares[e] Yahweh.

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