Jeremiah 31:36-38
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
36 If ever this fixed order gives way
before me—oracle of the Lord—
Then would the offspring of Israel cease
as a people before me forever.(A)
37 Thus says the Lord:
If the heavens on high could be measured,
or the foundations below the earth be explored,
Then would I reject all the offspring of Israel
because of all they have done—oracle of the Lord.
Jerusalem Rebuilt.[a] 38 See, days are coming—oracle of the Lord—when the city shall be rebuilt as the Lord’s,(B) from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.
