35Thus says Yahweh,

Who agives the sun for light by day

And the statutes for the moon and the stars for light by night,

Who bstirs up the sea so that its waves roar;

cYahweh of hosts is His name:

36“aIf these statutes are removed

From before Me,” declares Yahweh,

“Then the seed of Israel also will bcease

From being a nation before Me 1forever.”

ESVEnglish Standard Version

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:

“If this fixed order departs

from before me, declares the Lord,

then shall the offspring of Israel cease

from being a nation before me forever.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)

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:

“Only if these decrees vanish from my sight,”

declares the Lord,

“will Israel ever cease

being a nation before me.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

“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 —

the Lord of Armies is his name:

If this fixed order departs from before me—

this is the Lord’s declaration—

only then will Israel’s descendants cease

to be a nation before me forever.

NLTNew Living Translation

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:

“I am as likely to reject my people Israel

as I am to abolish the laws of nature!”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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. “If these rules would cease from before me,” declares Yahweh, “also the offspring of Israel would cease from being a nation before me forever.”

KJV 1900King James Version

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:

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.
