Jeremiah 31:35–40

³⁵Thus saith Jehovah, who giveth the sun for light by day, the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for light by night, who stirreth up the sea so that the waves thereof roar, —Jehovah of hosts is his name: ³⁶If those ordinances depart from before me, saith Jehovah, the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. ³⁷Thus saith Jehovah: If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off the whole seed of Israel, for all that they have done, saith Jehovah. ³⁸Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that the city shall be built to Jehovah, from the tower of Hananeel unto the corner-gate. ³⁹And the measuring line shall yet go forth before it unto the hill Gareb, and shall turn toward Goath. ⁴⁰And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the torrent Kidron, unto the corner of the horse-gate toward the east, shall be holy unto Jehovah: it shall not be plucked up, nor overthrown any more for ever.
