35 Thus says the Lord,
(A)Who gives the sun for a light by day,
The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night,
Who disturbs (B)the sea,
And its waves roar
(C)(The Lord of hosts is His name):

36 “If (D)those ordinances depart
From before Me, says the Lord,
Then the seed of Israel shall also cease
From being a nation before Me forever.”

From Me,” declares the Lord,
“Then the descendants of Israel also will (E)cease
To be a nation before Me [c]forever.”

From before Me,” says the Lord,
“Then the descendants of Israel also will cease
From being a nation before Me forever.”
