36 He promises that as long as the natural order lasts,so long will Israel be a nation.
37 If one day the sky could be measuredand the foundations of the earth explored,only then would he reject the people of Israelbecause of all they have done.The Lord has spoken.
38 “The time is coming,” says the Lord, “when all Jerusalem will be rebuilt as my city, from Hananel Tower west to the Corner Gate.
39 And the boundary line will continue from there on the west to the hill of Gareb and then round to Goah.
40 The entire valley, where the dead are buried and refuse is thrown, and all the fields above the brook of Kidron as far as the Horse Gate to the east, will be sacred to me. The city will never again be torn down or destroyed.”
