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.”

35 This is what the Lord says,
He who (A)gives the sun for light by day
And the [a]fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
Who (B)stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—
(C)The Lord of armies is His name:
36 (D)If [b]this fixed order departs
From Me,” declares the Lord,
“Then the descendants of Israel also will (E)cease
To be a nation before Me [c]forever.”
