But this is what the Lord says: I would no more reject my people than I would change my laws that govern night and day, earth and sky.

耶和华如此说：‘若是我立白日黑夜的约不能存住，若是我未曾安排天地的定例，

耶和华如此说：除非我没有立白日黑夜之约，也未曾安排天和地的定例，

耶和华如此说：除非我没有立白日黑夜之约，也未曾安排天和地的定例，

然而，耶和华说，‘正如我决不废弃我所定的昼夜交替和天地运行之律，

耶和华这样说：‘我若没有设立白昼和黑夜的约，或立定天地的定律，

耶和華如此說：若是我立白日黑夜的約不能存住，若是我未曾安排天地的定例，

耶和華如此說：除非我沒有立白日黑夜之約，也未曾安排天和地的定例，

耶和華如此說：除非我沒有立白日黑夜之約，也未曾安排天和地的定例，

然而，耶和華說，『正如我決不廢棄我所定的晝夜交替和天地運行之律，

耶和華這樣說：‘我若沒有設立白晝和黑夜的約，或立定天地的定律，

但永恆主這麼說：我若沒有跟黑夜白晝立我的約，我若沒有立定天地的定律，

耶和華曰、如我所立晝夜之約可廢、如我未定天地之例、

惟我曰、我與晝夜立約、必不爽之、我定天地之例、必不廢之、

主如是云、我所立晝夜之約、所定天地之例、

This is what the Lord says:‘ If I have not made my covenant with day and night and established the laws of heaven and earth,

I say,‘ What if I had not made my covenant with day and night? What if I had not established the laws of heaven and earth?

Thus says the Lord: If I have not established my covenant with day and night and the fixed order of heaven and earth,

This is what the LORD says: If I do not keep my covenant with the day and with the night, and if I fail to establish the fixed order of heaven and earth,

This is what the Lord says:‘ If My covenant for day and night does not continue, and I have not established the fixed patterns of heaven and earth,

“ Thus says the Lord:‘ If My covenant is not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth,

Thus saith Jehovah: If my covenant of day and night stand not, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;

This is what the Lord says: If I do not keep My covenant with the day and with the night and fail to establish the fixed order of heaven and earth,

Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant[ be] not with day and night,[ and if] I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;

But I, the LORD, make the following promise: I have made a covenant governing the coming of day and night. I have established the fixed laws governing heaven and earth.

Yahweh says:“ If my covenant of day and night fails, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;

Both day and night belong to you; you made the starlight and the sun.You set the boundaries of the earth, and you made both summer and winter.

You made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to set.

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!”

“ This is what the Lord says: If you can break my covenant with the day and the night so that one does not follow the other,

As long as the earth remains, there will be planting and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night.”

“ I hereby confirm my covenant with you and your descendants,and with all the animals that were on the boat with you— the birds, the livestock, and all the wild animals— every living creature on earth.Yes, I am confirming my covenant with you. Never again will floodwaters kill all living creatures; never again will a flood destroy the earth.”Then God said,“ I am giving you a sign of my covenant with you and with all living creatures, for all generations to come.I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of my covenant with you and with all the earth.When I send clouds over the earth, the rainbow will appear in the clouds,and I will remember my covenant with you and with all living creatures. Never again will the floodwaters destroy all life.When I see the rainbow in the clouds, I will remember the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth.”Then God said to Noah,“ Yes, this rainbow is the sign of the covenant I am confirming with all the creatures on earth.”
