Jeremiah 31:37

Jeremiah 31:37 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

37This is what the Lord says:

“Only if the heavens above can be measured

and the foundations of the earth below be searched out

will I reject all the descendants of Israel

because of all they have done,”

declares the Lord.

37This is what the Lord says:

“If the heavens above can be measured

And the foundations of the earth searched out below,

Then I will also reject all the descendants of Israel

For everything that they have done,” declares the Lord.

37Thus says the Lord,

“If the heavens above can be measured

And the foundations of the earth searched out below,

Then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel

For all that they have done,” declares the Lord.

37Thus says the Lord,

“If the heavens above can be measured

And the foundations of the earth searched out below,

Then I will also cast off and abandon all the descendants of Israel

For all that they have done,” says the Lord.

37This is what the Lord says:

“Only if the heavens above could be measured

and the foundations of the earth below searched out

would I reject all of Israel’s descendants

because of all they have done,”

declares the Lord.

37The Lord says,

“Suppose the sky above could be measured.

Suppose the foundations of the earth below could be completely discovered.

Only then would I turn away the people of Israel.

Even though they have committed many sins,

I will still accept them,”

announces the Lord.
