2 Peter 3:5-7 for this is unobserved by them willingly, that the heavens were of old, and the earth out of water and through water standing together by the word of God,

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ for this is unobserved by them willingly, that the heavens were of old, and the earth out of water and through water standing together by the word of God, ⁶ through which the then world, by water having been deluged, was destroyed; ⁷ and the present heavens and the earth, by the same word are treasured, for fire being kept to a day of judgment and destruction of the impious men.
