"Thus¹ saithª° the LORD;ª If¹ my covenantª [be] not¹ with dayª and night,ª [and if] I have not¹ appointedª° the ordinancesª of heavenª and earth;ª ... Thenª will I cast awayª° the seedª of Jacob,ª and Davidª my servant,ª [so] that I will not takeª°¹ [any] of his seedª¹ [to be] rulersª° over¹ the seedª of Abraham,ª Isaac,ª and Jacob:ª for¹ I will cause¹ their captivityª to return,ª°°° and have mercyª° on them." {Jer 33:25-26} + "Thus¹ saithª° the LORD,ª which givethª° the sunª for a lightª by day,ª [and] the ordinancesª of the moonª and of the starsª for a lightª by night,ª which dividethª° the seaª when the wavesª thereof roar;ª° The LORDª of hostsª [is] his name:ª ... If¹ those¹ ordinancesª departª° from beforeª¹ me, saithª° the LORD,ª [then] the seedª of Israelª also¹ shall ceaseª° from being¹¹ a nationª beforeª me for ever.ª¹" {Jer 31:35-36} + "While¹ the earthª remaineth,ª¹ seedtimeª and harvest,ª and coldª and heat,ª and summerª and winter,ª and dayª and nightª shall not¹ cease.ª°" {Gen 8:22} + "It shall be establishedª° for everª as the moon,ª and [as] a faithfulª° witnessª in heaven.ª Selah.ª" {Psa 89:37} + "He appointedª° the moonª for seasons:ª the sunª knowethª° his going down.ª ... Manª goeth forthª° unto his workª and to his labourª until¹ the evening.ª" {Psa 104:19-23} + "For¹ this¹ [is as] the watersª of Noahª unto me: for¹ [as] I have swornª° that the watersª of Noahª should no more¹ go¹¹ over²°¹ the earth;ª so¹ have I swornª° that I would not be wrothª°¹ with¹ thee, nor rebukeª°¹ thee. ... For¹ the mountainsª shall depart,ª° and the hillsª be removed;ª° but my kindnessª shall not¹ departª° from¹¹ thee, neither¹ shall the covenantª of my peaceª be removed,ª° saithª° the LORDª that hath mercyª° on thee." {Isa 54:9-10} |
