35 This is what the Lord says,

he who appoints the sun

to shine by day,

who decrees the moon and stars

to shine by night,

who stirs up the sea

so that its waves roar—

the Lord Almighty is his name:

36 “Only if these decrees vanish from my sight,”

declares the Lord,

“will Israel ever cease

being a nation before me.”

35 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:

36 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.

35 It is the Lord who provides the sun to light the day

and the moon and stars to light the night,

and who stirs the sea into roaring waves.

His name is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,

and this is what he says:

36 “I am as likely to reject my people Israel

as I am to abolish the laws of nature!”

35 Thus says the Lord,

Who gives the sun for a light by day,

The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night,

Who disturbs the sea,

And its waves roar

(The Lord of hosts is His name):

36 “If 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 The Lord makes the sun shine in the day

and the moon and stars to shine at night.

He stirs up the sea so that its waves crash on the shore.

The Lord All-Powerful is his name.

This is what the Lord says:

36 “Only if these laws should ever fail,”

says the Lord,

“will Israel’s descendants ever stop

being a nation before me.”

35 Thus saith Jehovah, who giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirreth up the sea, so that the waves thereof roar; Jehovah of hosts is his name: 36 If these ordinances depart from before me, saith Jehovah, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.

35 Thus 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: 36 If those ordinances depart from before me, saith Jehovah, the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.

35 The Lord provides the sun to be a light during the day. 

He orders the moon and stars to be lights during the night. 

He stirs up the sea so that its waves roar. 

His name is the Lord of Armies. 

This is what the Lord says: 

36 Only if these laws stop working, declares the Lord, 

will Israel’s descendants stop being a nation in my presence. 

35 This is what the Lord says:

The One who gives the sun for light by day,

the fixed order of moon and stars for light by night,

who stirs up the sea and makes its waves roar —

Yahweh of Hosts is His name:

36 If this fixed order departs from My presence—

this is the Lord’s declaration—

then also Israel’s descendants will cease

to be a nation before Me forever.

35 Thus says the Lord,

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 hosts is his name:

36 If this fixed order were ever to cease

from my presence, says the Lord,

then also the offspring of Israel would cease

to be a nation before me forever.

35 Thus says Yahweh, who gives the sun for light by day, the regulations of the moon and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea and its waves roar—Yahweh of hosts is his name. 36 “If these rules would cease from before me,” declares Yahweh, “also the offspring of Israel would cease from being a nation before me forever.”

35 The Lord speaks.

He makes the sun

shine by day.

He orders the moon and stars

to shine at night.

He stirs up the ocean.

He makes its waves roar.

His name is The Lord Who Rules Over All.

36 “Suppose my orders for creation disappear from my sight,”

announces the Lord.

“Only then will the people of Israel stop being

a nation in my sight.”

35 Thus says the Lord,

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 hosts is His name:

36 “If this fixed order departs

From before Me,” declares the Lord,

“Then the offspring of Israel also will cease

From being a nation before Me forever.”
