This is what the LORD says, He who gives the sun for light by day And the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— The LORD of armies is His name:

Thus saith the Lord , which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name:

"If this fixed order departs From Me," declares the LORD, "Then the descendants of Israel also will cease To be a nation before Me forever."

If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord , then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.

This is what the LORD says: "If the heavens above can be measured And the foundations of the earth searched out below, Then I will also reject all the descendants of Israel For everything that they have done," declares the LORD.

Thus saith the Lord ; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the Lord .
