Verse 35

The Lord Guarantees Israel’s Continuance The LORD has made a promise to Israel. He promises it as the one who fixed the sun to give light by day and the moon and stars to give light by night. He promises it as the one who stirs up the sea so that its waves roll. His name is the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.
