³⁷ It shall be established for ever as the moon, And `as' the faithful witness in the sky. Selah

¹⁴ And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:

¹⁵ and let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

¹⁶ And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: `he made' the stars also.

¹⁷ And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth,

¹⁸ and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

¹³ I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

¹⁴ And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,

¹⁵ and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

¹⁶ And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

⁷ In his days shall the righteous flourish, And abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.

¹⁹ He appointed the moon for seasons: The sun knoweth his going down.

⁹ For this is `as' the waters of Noah unto me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

¹⁰ For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my lovingkindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed, saith Jehovah that hath mercy on thee.

³⁵ Thus saith Jehovah, who giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirreth up the sea, so that the waves thereof roar; Jehovah of hosts is his name:

³⁶ If these ordinances depart from before me, saith Jehovah, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
