And gladness for the upright in heart.

⁸ for ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light

¹⁴ Wherefore [he] saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee.

¹⁶ who only hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom [be] honor and power eternal. Amen.

⁵ And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

⁸ Again, a new commandment write I unto you, which thing is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shineth.

¹⁰ And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

¹² And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after their kind: and God saw that it was good.

¹⁶ The day is thine, the night also is thine:
Thou hast prepared the light and the sun.

²⁰ Thou makest darkness, and it is night,
Wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth.

²⁰ Thus saith Jehovah: If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, so that there shall not be day and night in their season;

¹³ each man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man's work of what sort it is.

¹³ But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light.

⁵ for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness;

¹⁴ And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:

¹⁸ Canst thou with him spread out the sky,
Which is strong as a molten mirror?

²² Hast thou entered the treasuries of the snow,
Or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, ²³ Which I have reserved against the time of trouble,
Against the day of battle and war? ²⁴ By what way is the light parted,
Or the east wind scattered upon the earth?
²⁵ Who hath cleft a channel for the waterflood,
Or the way for the lightning of the thunder; ²⁶ To cause it to rain on a land where no man is;
On the wilderness, wherein there is no man;

¹ For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament showeth his handiwork.

⁵ To him that by understanding made the heavens;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever: ⁶ To him that spread forth the earth above the waters;

And ye waters that are above the heavens.

⁸ He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds;

⁸ Or [who] shut up the sea with doors,
When it brake forth, [as if] it had issued out of the womb; ⁹ When I made clouds the garment thereof,
And thick darkness a swaddling-band for it, ¹⁰ And marked out for it my bound,
And set bars and doors, ¹¹ And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further;
And here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

¹⁰ He sendeth forth springs into the valleys;
They run among the mountains;

²⁸ When he made firm the skies above,
When the fountains of the deep became strong, ²⁹ When he gave to the sea its bound,

Unto the confines of light and darkness.

¹ A Psalm of David.

The earth is Jehovah's, and the fulness thereof;
The world, and they that dwell therein. ² For he hath founded it upon the seas,
And established it upon the floods.

⁷ He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap:
He layeth up the deeps in store-houses.

⁵ The sea is his, and he made it;
And his hands formed the dry land.

³ Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters;
Who maketh the clouds his chariot;
Who walketh upon the wings of the wind;

⁵ Who laid the foundations of the earth,
That it should not be moved for ever. ⁶ Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture;
The waters stood above the mountains. ⁷ At thy rebuke they fled;
At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away ⁸ (The mountains rose, the valleys sank down)
Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them. ⁹ Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over;
That they turn not again to cover the earth.

⁷ All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full; unto the place whither the rivers go, thither they go again.

²² Fear ye not me? saith Jehovah: will ye not tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it? and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it.

⁹ And he said unto them, I am a Hebrew; and I fear Jehovah, the God of heaven, who hath made the sea and the dry land.

⁴ And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

⁴ The Rock, his work is perfect;
For all his ways are justice:
A God of faithfulness and without iniquity,

³¹ Let the glory of Jehovah endure for ever;
Let Jehovah rejoice in his works:

²⁹ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food:

⁵ And no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Jehovah God had not caused it to rain upon the earth: and there was not a man to till the ground;

⁹ And out of the ground made Jehovah God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

¹⁶ And Jehovah God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

⁵ As for the earth, out of it cometh bread;
And underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.

³ And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water,
That bringeth forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also doth not wither;
And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

⁹ Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it,
Thou greatly enrichest it;
The river of God is full of water:
Thou providest them grain, when thou hast so prepared the earth. ¹⁰ Thou waterest its furrows abundantly;
Thou settlest the ridges thereof:
Thou makest it soft with showers;
Thou blessest the springing thereof. ¹¹ Thou crownest the year with thy goodness;
And thy paths drop fatness. ¹² They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness;
And the hills are girded with joy. ¹³ The pastures are clothed with flocks;
The valleys also are covered over with grain;
They shout for joy, they also sing.

¹⁴ He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle,
And herb for the service of man;
That he may bring forth food out of the earth, ¹⁵ And wine that maketh glad the heart of man,
[And] oil to make his face to shine,
And bread that strengtheneth man's heart. ¹⁶ The trees of Jehovah are filled [with moisture],
The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; ¹⁷ Where the birds make their nests:
As for the stork, the fir-trees are her house.

⁸ Who covereth the heavens with clouds,
Who prepareth rain for the earth,
Who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

⁸ For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreadeth out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat cometh, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

¹⁰ And even now the axe lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

³⁰ But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, [shall he] not much more [clothe] you, O ye of little faith?

¹⁶ By their fruits ye shall know them. Do [men] gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? ¹⁷ Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. ¹⁸ A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. ¹⁹ Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. ²⁰ Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

²⁸ The earth beareth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.

⁴³ For there is no good tree that bringeth forth corrupt fruit; nor again a corrupt tree that bringeth forth good fruit. ⁴⁴ For each tree is known by its own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

⁷ For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God:

¹² Can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? neither [can] salt water yield sweet.

¹⁰ For as the rain cometh down and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, and giveth seed to the sower and bread to the eater; ¹¹ so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

¹¹ For as the earth bringeth forth its bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord Jehovah will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

²⁴ Another parable set he before them, saying, { The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field: ²⁵ but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away. ²⁶ But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

⁴⁴ For each tree is known by its own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

¹⁰ And he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:

⁷ Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

¹³ I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

¹⁹ and lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the host of heaven, thou be drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which Jehovah thy God hath allotted unto all the peoples under the whole heaven.

⁹ Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark:
Let it look for light, but have none;
Neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning:

³ Is there any number of his armies?
And upon whom doth not his light arise?

⁵ Behold, even the moon hath no brightness,
And the stars are not pure in his sight:

¹² Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days [began],
[And] caused the dayspring to know its place; ¹³ That it might take hold of the ends of the earth,
And the wicked be shaken out of it? ¹⁴ It is changed as clay under the seal;
And [all things] stand forth as a garment:

³¹ Canst thou bind the cluster of the Pleiades,
Or loose the bands of Orion? ³² Canst thou lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season?
Or canst thou guide the Bear with her train?

³ When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,
The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; ⁴ What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
And the son of man, that thou visitest him?

¹ For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament showeth his handiwork. ² Day unto day uttereth speech,
And night unto night showeth knowledge. ³ There is no speech nor language;
Their voice is not heard. ⁴ Their line is gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.
In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, ⁵ Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
And rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course. ⁶ His going forth is from the end of the heavens,
And his circuit unto the ends of it;
And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

¹⁶ The day is thine, the night also is thine:
Thou hast prepared the light and the sun. ¹⁷ Thou hast set all the borders of the earth:
Thou hast made summer and winter.

³ Blow the trumpet at the new moon,
At the full moon, on our feast-day.

¹⁹ He appointed the moon for seasons:
The sun knoweth his going down. ²⁰ Thou makest darkness, and it is night,
Wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth.

⁹¹ They abide this day according to thine ordinances;
For all things are thy servants.

⁷ To him that made great lights;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever: ⁸ The sun to rule by day;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever; ⁹ The moon and stars to rule by night;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever:

³ Praise ye him, sun and moon:
Praise him, all ye stars of light.

⁶ He hath also established them for ever and ever:
He hath made a decree which shall not pass away.

² thus saith Jehovah, Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the nations are dismayed at them.

³⁵ Thus saith Jehovah, who giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirreth up the sea, so that the waves thereof roar; Jehovah of hosts is his name:

²⁵ Thus saith Jehovah: If my covenant of day and night [stand] not, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;

⁷ And when I shall extinguish thee, I will cover the heavens, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give its light. ⁸ All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord Jehovah.

¹ Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath day it shall be opened, and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened.

⁶ And on the day of the new moon it shall be a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram; they shall be without blemish:

¹⁰ The earth quaketh before them; the heavens tremble; the sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.

³⁰ And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. ³¹ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of Jehovah cometh.

¹⁵ The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.

⁸ [seek him] that maketh the Pleiades and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night; that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth (Jehovah is his name);

⁹ And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord Jehovah, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.

² Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

² But he answered and said unto them, { When it is evening, ye say, [It will be] fair weather: for the heaven is red. ³ And in the morning, [It will be] foul weather to-day: for the heaven is red and lowering. Ye know how to discern the face of the heaven; but ye cannot [discern] the signs of the times.

²⁹ But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

²⁴ But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

²⁵ And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the billows; ²⁶ men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.

⁴⁵ the sun's light failing: and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

¹⁹ And I will show wonders in the heaven above,
And signs on the earth beneath;
Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke: ²⁰ The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the day of the Lord come,
That great and notable [day].

¹² And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood;

¹² And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; that the third part of them should be darkened, and the day should not shine for the third part of it, and the night in like manner.

² And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

¹² Then spake Joshua to Jehovah in the day when Jehovah delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel,
Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon;
And thou, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon. ¹³ And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed,
Until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies.
Is not this written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. ¹⁴ And there was no day like that before it or after it, that Jehovah hearkened unto the voice of a man: for Jehovah fought for Israel.

²⁶ If I have beheld the sun when it shined,
Or the moon walking in brightness,

⁷ When the morning stars sang together,
And all the sons of God shouted for joy?

⁶ His going forth is from the end of the heavens,
And his circuit unto the ends of it;
And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

¹⁰ For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light; the sun shall be darkened in its going forth, and the moon shall not cause its light to shine.

²³ Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Jehovah of hosts will reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem; and before his elders shall be glory.

¹¹ The sun and moon stood still in their habitation,
At the light of thine arrows as they went,
At the shining of thy glittering spear.

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

⁴¹ There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory.

⁸ And the fourth poured out his bowl upon the sun; and it was given unto it to scorch men with fire. ⁹ And men were scorched with great heat: and they blasphemed the name of God who hath the power over these plagues; and they repented not to give him glory.

²³ And the city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine upon it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp thereof [is] the Lamb.

¹² Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days [began],
[And] caused the dayspring to know its place;

¹ For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of David.

O Jehovah, our Lord,
How excellent is thy name in all the earth,
Who hast set thy glory upon the heavens!

⁴⁷ For so hath the Lord commanded us, [saying],
I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles,
That thou shouldest be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth.

⁷ And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

²² And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.

³⁰ and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, [I have given] every green herb for food: and it was so.

¹⁹ And out of the ground Jehovah God formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them: and whatsoever the man called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

¹⁷ Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee of all flesh, both birds, and cattle, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.

³³ And he spake of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall; he spake also of beasts, and of birds, and of creeping things, and of fishes.

²⁴ O Jehovah, how manifold are thy works!
In wisdom hast thou made them all:
The earth is full of thy riches. ²⁵ Yonder is the sea, great and wide,
Wherein are things creeping innumerable,
Both small and great beasts.

¹⁰ Beasts and all cattle;
Creeping things and flying birds;

²¹ For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, and with knowledge, and with skilfulness; yet to a man that hath not labored therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.

²⁵ neither is he served by men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

²⁰ Of the birds after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.

¹⁴ they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.

¹⁹ every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatsoever moveth upon the earth, after their families, went forth out of the ark.

⁷ And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.

⁷ And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.

³ and the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into thy house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneading-troughs:

¹² Am I a sea, or a sea-monster,
That thou settest a watch over me?

⁵ They that are deceased tremble
Beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.

²⁴ O Jehovah, how manifold are thy works!
In wisdom hast thou made them all:
The earth is full of thy riches. ²⁵ Yonder is the sea, great and wide,
Wherein are things creeping innumerable,
Both small and great beasts. ²⁶ There go the ships;
There is leviathan, whom thou hast formed to play therein.

² Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou wast likened unto a young lion of the nations: yet art thou as a monster in the seas; and thou didst break forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.

¹⁷ And Jehovah prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah; and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

¹⁰ And Jehovah spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

⁴⁰ for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

²⁸ And God blessed them: and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

¹ And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

²⁷ And Laban said unto him, If now I have found favor in thine eyes, [tarry]: [for] I have divined that Jehovah hath blessed me for thy sake.

³⁰ For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it hath increased unto a multitude; and Jehovah hath blessed thee whithersoever I turned: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?

¹¹ And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;

⁹ And I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you.

¹⁵ Behold now, behemoth, which I made as well as thee;
He eateth grass as an ox.

¹² So Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

³¹ Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,
And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

³⁸ He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly;
And he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

³ Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine,
In the innermost parts of thy house;
Thy children like olive plants,
Round about thy table.

¹³ [When] our garners are full, affording all manner of store,
[And] our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields; ¹⁴ [When] our oxen are well laden;
[When there is] no breaking in, and no going forth,
And no outcry in our streets:

²² The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich;
And he addeth no sorrow therewith.

³⁹ Canst thou hunt the prey for the lioness,
Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions, ⁴⁰ When they couch in their dens,
[And] abide in the covert to lie in wait?

¹ Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth?
[Or] canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?

⁵ Who hath sent out the wild ass free?
Or who hath loosed the bonds of the swift ass,

⁹ Will the wild-ox be content to serve thee?
Or will he abide by thy crib?

¹⁹ Hast thou given the horse [his] might?
Hast thou clothed his neck with the quivering mane?

⁹ I will take no bullock out of thy house,
Nor he-goats out of thy folds. ¹⁰ For every beast of the forest is mine,
And the cattle upon a thousand hills.

¹⁸ The high mountains are for the wild goats;
The rocks are a refuge for the conies.

²³ Man goeth forth unto his work And to his labor until the evening.

¹⁹ And out of the ground Jehovah God formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them: and whatsoever the man called every living creature, that was the name thereof. ²⁰ And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but for man there was not found a help meet for him.

⁸ Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee;
And the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. ⁹ Who knoweth not in all these,
That the hand of Jehovah hath wrought this, ¹⁰ In whose hand is the soul of every living thing,
And the breath of all mankind?

⁵ I have made the earth, the men and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I give it unto whom it seemeth right unto me.

²² And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever—

¹ This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;

² And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens; with all wherewith the ground teemeth, and all the fishes of the sea, into your hand are they delivered. ³ Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you; as the green herb have I given you all. ⁴ But flesh with the life thereof, [which is] the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.

⁶ Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

⁷ Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

²³ For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field;
And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

¹⁰ But none saith, Where is God my Maker,
Who giveth songs in the night,

⁴ What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
And the son of man, that thou visitest him? ⁵ For thou hast made him but little lower than God,
And crownest him with glory and honor. ⁶ Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;
Thou hast put all things under his feet: ⁷ All sheep and oxen,
Yea, and the beasts of the field, ⁸ The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

³ Know ye that Jehovah, he is God:
It is he that hath made us, and we are his;
We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

²⁰ Thou makest darkness, and it is night,
Wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth. ²¹ The young lions roar after their prey,
And seek their food from God. ²² The sun ariseth, they get them away,
And lay them down in their dens. ²³ Man goeth forth unto his work And to his labor until the evening. ²⁴ O Jehovah, how manifold are thy works!
In wisdom hast thou made them all:
The earth is full of thy riches.

² Let Israel rejoice in him that made him:
Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

²⁹ Behold, this only have I found: that God made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

⁸ And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I; send me.

⁸ But now, O Jehovah, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

⁶ And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field also have I given him to serve him.

¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh even until now, and I work.

²³ Jesus answered and said unto him, { If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

²⁰ For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.

²⁶ and he made of one every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, having determined [their] appointed seasons, and the bounds of their habitation;

²⁸ for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain even of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. ²⁹ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and device of man.

⁷ For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

¹⁸ But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.

⁴ in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn [upon them].

²⁴ and put on the new man, that after God hath been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.

¹⁵ who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;

¹⁰ and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him:

⁶ But one hath somewhere testified, saying,
What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
Or the son of man, that thou visitest him? ⁷ Thou madest him a little lower than the angels;
Thou crownedst him with glory and honor,
And didst set him over the works of thy hands: ⁸ Thou didst put all things in subjection under his feet.
For in that he subjected all things unto him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to him. ⁹ But we behold him who hath been made a little lower than the angels, [even] Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for every [man].

⁷ For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind:

⁹ Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, who are made after the likeness of God:

⁷ And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is the truth.

¹⁸ And Jehovah God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.

²¹ And Jehovah God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof: ²² and the rib, which Jehovah God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. ²³ And the man said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. ²⁴ Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. ²⁵ And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

¹ This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; ² male and female created he them, and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

¹⁴ I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
Wonderful are thy works;
And that my soul knoweth right well.

⁷ every one that is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yea, whom I have made.

¹⁵ And did he not make one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? And wherefore one? He sought a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.

⁴ And he answered and said, { Have ye not read, that he who made [them] from the beginning made them male and female,

⁶ But from the beginning of the creation, Male and female made he them.

⁷ For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. ⁸ For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man: ⁹ for neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man:

¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.

²⁶ [even] the mystery which hath been hid for ages and generations: but now hath it been manifested to his saints,

¹⁶ And I will bless her, and moreover I will give thee a son of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be [a mother of] nations; kings of peoples shall be of her.

²⁰ And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.

¹⁷ that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the seashore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; ¹⁸ and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

⁶⁰ And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Our sister, be thou [the mother] of thousands of ten thousands, and let thy seed possess the gate of those that hate them.

³ sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; ⁴ and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these lands; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;

²⁴ And Jehovah appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.

⁵ And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are these with thee? And he said, The children whom God hath graciously given thy servant.

²⁵ Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee,
And by the Almighty, who shall bless thee,
With blessings of heaven above,
Blessings of the deep that coucheth beneath,
Blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.

¹⁰ And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my border, and that thy hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it be not to my sorrow! And God granted him that which he requested.

⁵ Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peullethai the eighth; for God blessed him.

³⁴ Let heaven and earth praise him,
The seas, and everything that moveth therein.

¹ A Song of Ascents; of Solomon.

Except Jehovah build the house,
They labor in vain that build it:
Except Jehovah keep the city,
The watchman waketh but in vain. ² It is vain for you to rise up early,
To take rest late,
To eat the bread of toil;
[For] so he giveth unto his beloved sleep. ³ Lo, children are a heritage of Jehovah;
[And] the fruit of the womb is [his] reward. ⁴ As arrows in the hand of a mighty man,
So are the children of youth. ⁵ Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them:
They shall not be put to shame,
When they speak with their enemies in the gate.

³ Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine,
In the innermost parts of thy house;
Thy children like olive plants,
Round about thy table. ⁴ Behold, thus shall the man be blessed That feareth Jehovah.

³ forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by them that believe and know the truth.

³ Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you; as the green herb have I given you all.

³¹ For by these he judgeth the peoples;
He giveth food in abundance.

¹ A Psalm of David.

The earth is Jehovah's, and the fulness thereof;
The world, and they that dwell therein.

¹⁴ He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle,
And herb for the service of man;
That he may bring forth food out of the earth, ¹⁵ And wine that maketh glad the heart of man,
[And] oil to make his face to shine,
And bread that strengtheneth man's heart.

²⁷ These wait all for thee,
That thou mayest give them their food in due season. ²⁸ Thou givest unto them, they gather;
Thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good.

⁵ He hath given food unto them that fear him:
He will ever be mindful of his covenant.

¹⁶ The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah;
But the earth hath he given to the children of men.

²⁵ Who giveth food to all flesh;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.

¹⁵ The eyes of all wait for thee;
And thou givest them their food in due season. ¹⁶ Thou openest thy hand,
And satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

⁷ Who executeth justice for the oppressed;
Who giveth food to the hungry.
Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

⁹ He giveth to the beast his food,
[And] to the young ravens which cry.

¹⁶ He shall dwell on high; his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks; his bread shall be given [him]; his waters shall be sure.

⁸ For she did not know that I gave her the grain, and the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied unto her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.

¹¹ Give us this day our daily bread.

²⁵ Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment? ²⁶ Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value than they?

¹⁷ And yet he left not himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you from heaven rains and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.

²⁴ The God that made the world and all things therein, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; ²⁵ neither is he served by men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

²⁸ for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain even of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

¹⁷ Charge them that are rich in this present world, that they be not highminded, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

³⁹ Canst thou hunt the prey for the lioness,
Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions, ⁴⁰ When they couch in their dens,
[And] abide in the covert to lie in wait? ⁴¹ Who provideth for the raven his prey,
When his young ones cry unto God,
[And] wander for lack of food?

⁴ Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open field;
They go forth, and return not again.

⁸ The range of the mountains is his pasture,
And he searcheth after every green thing.

³⁰ Her young ones also suck up blood:
And where the slain are, there is she.

²⁰ Surely the mountains bring him forth food,
Where all the beasts of the field do play.

¹⁴ He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle,
And herb for the service of man;
That he may bring forth food out of the earth,

² And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

¹ For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament showeth his handiwork. ² Day unto day uttereth speech,
And night unto night showeth knowledge.

³⁸ Out of the mouth of the Most High cometh there not evil and good?

⁴ For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it be received with thanksgiving:
