# Yahweh says
Yahweh is speaking of himself here. Alternate translation: "I say" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person]])
# If you can break my covenant with day and night ... proper times
This phrase starting with "If" is a condition that is contrary to fact. No one can break God's covenant with night and day. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hypo]])
