34 They will (A)not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all (B)know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will (C)forgive their iniquity, and their (D)sin I will remember no more.”

35 Thus says the Lord,
Who (E)gives the sun for light by day
And the [a]fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
Who (F)stirs up the sea so that its waves roar;
(G)The Lord of hosts is His name:
36 (H)If [b]this fixed order departs
From before Me,” declares the Lord,
“Then the offspring of Israel also will (I)cease
From being a nation before Me [c]forever.”

34 No longer will they teach(A) their neighbor,
    or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know(B) me,
    from the least of them to the greatest,”
declares the Lord.
“For I will forgive(C) their wickedness
    and will remember their sins(D) no more.”

35 This is what the Lord says,

he who appoints(E) the sun
    to shine by day,
who decrees the moon and stars
    to shine by night,(F)
who stirs up the sea(G)
    so that its waves roar(H)
    the Lord Almighty is his name:(I)
36 “Only if these decrees(J) vanish from my sight,”
    declares the Lord,
“will Israel(K) ever cease
    being a nation before me.”
