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.

³⁴ My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

³⁷ It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
