Jeremiah 31:35–40

³⁵Thus 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,”ⁿ declares^o Yahweh, “also the offspring of Israel would cease from being a nation before me^p forever.”^{q 37}Thus says Yahweh, “If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth below can be explored, also I will reject all the offspring of Israel because of all that they have done,” declares^r Yahweh. ³⁸“Look, days are coming,” declares^s Yahweh, “and the city will be rebuilt for Yahweh, from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate. ³⁹And the measuring line^t will still go out immediately in front of it to the hill of Gareb, and it will turn to Goah. ⁴⁰And the whole of the valley of the corpses, and the ashes, and all the cultivated fields up to the wadi of Kidron, up to the corner of the Gate of the Horses toward the east will be holy to Yahweh. It will not be uprooted, and it will not be overthrown again forever.”^u
