Jeremiah 31:35-37

New International Reader's Version

He makes the sun
    shine by day.
He orders the moon and stars
    to shine at night.
He stirs up the ocean.
    He makes its waves roar.
    His name is the Lord Who Rules Over All.
³⁶ “Suppose my orders for creation disappear from my sight,”
    announces the Lord.
“Only then will the people of Israel stop being
    a nation in my sight.”

“Suppose the sky above could be measured.
    Suppose the foundations of the earth below could be completely discovered.
Only then would I turn away the people of Israel.
    Even though they have committed many sins,
    I will still accept them,”
    announces the Lord.
