^{36 Ref} If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.

^{37 Ref} Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.
