aWho gives the sun for a light by day,
The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night,
Who disturbs bthe sea,
And its waves roar
c(The Lord of hosts is His name):
From before Me, says the Lord,
Then the seed of Israel shall also cease
From being a nation before Me forever.”
a“If heaven above can be measured,
And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,
I will also bcast off all the seed of Israel
For all that they have done, says the Lord.

Jeremiah 31:36
If those ordinances - As sure as the sun shall give light to the day, and the moon to the night, so surely shall the Jews continue to be a distinct people. The same thing is expressed in other words in the next verse. Hitherto this prophecy has been literally fulfilled; the Jews are still a distinct people from all the dwellers upon earth. Every attempt that has been made in any country to naturalize and unite them with the people of that country, has proved abortive. The well-circumstanced attempt made this year (1830) in England, when the strongest interest was excited in their behalf, has also utterly failed. And why? Because of God' s purpose expressed in Jeremiah 31:35-37 of the Book of the Prophet Jeremiah.
