The Message
Jeremiah 31:35-37
The Message
If This Ordered Cosmos Ever Fell to Pieces
35 God’s Message, from the God who lights up the day with sun and
brightens the night with moon and stars,
Who whips the ocean into a billowy froth,
whose name is God-of-the-Angel-Armies:
36 “If this ordered cosmos ever fell to pieces,
fell into chaos before me”—God’s Decree—
“Then and only then might Israel fall apart
and disappear as a nation before me.”
* * *
37 God’s Message:
“If the skies could be measured with a yardstick
and the earth explored to its core,
Then and only then would I turn my back on Israel,
disgusted with all they’ve done.” God’s Decree.

who decrees the moon and stars

who stirs up the sea(C)
so that its waves roar(D)—
the Lord Almighty is his name:(E)
36 “Only if these decrees(F) vanish from my sight,”
declares the Lord,
“will Israel(G) ever cease
being a nation before me.”
37 This is what the Lord says:
