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.
