35 This is what Jehovah says,
Who gives the sun for light by day,
The laws* of the moon and the stars for light by night,
Who stirs up the sea and makes its waves boisterous,
Whose name is Jehovah of armies:+
36 “‘If these regulations should ever fail,’ declares Jehovah,
‘Only then would the offspring of Israel cease as a nation before me always.’”+
