⁵ To Him who made the heavens by understanding; for His mercy endures forever. ⁶ To Him who established the earth on the waters; for His mercy endures forever. ⁷ To Him who alone made great lights; for His mercy endures forever. ⁸ The sun to rule by day; for His mercy endures forever. ⁹ The moon and the stars to rule the night; for His mercy endures forever.

²⁵ Who gives food to all flesh; for His mercy endures forever.

¹⁴ I will give You thanks; for You are fearfully wondrous; wondrous are Your works; and my soul knows it well.

¹³ Their garners are full, and bursting with one kind of store after another; their sheep are prolific, multiplying in their streets. ¹⁴ Their oxen are fat: there is no falling down of a hedge, nor going out, nor cry in their folds.

¹⁵ The eyes of all wait upon You; and You give them their food in due season. ¹⁶ You open Your hands, and fill every living thing with pleasure.

⁶ who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things in them; who keeps truth forever; ⁷ who executes judgment for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones.

⁸ who covers the heaven with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who causes grass to spring up on the mountains, and green herb for the service of men; ⁹ and gives cattle their food, and to the young ravens that call upon Him.

³ Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all you stars and light. ⁴ Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, and the water that is above the heavens.

⁴ Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, and the water that is above the heavens. ⁵ Let them praise the name of the Lord; for He spoke, and they were made; He commanded, and they were created.

⁵ Let them praise the name of the Lord; for He spoke, and they were made; He commanded, and they were created. ⁶ He has established them forever, even forever and ever; He has made an ordinance, and it shall not pass away.

¹⁰ wild beasts, and all cattle; reptiles, and winged birds;

² Let Israel rejoice in Him that made him; and let the children of Zion exalt in their King.

¹ Alleluia. Praise God in His holy places; praise Him in the firmament of His power.

¹⁹ God by wisdom founded the earth, and by understanding He prepared the heavens.

²² The Lord made me the beginning of His ways for His works. ²³ He established me in the beginning, before time was, before He made the earth. ²⁴ Even before He made the depths, before the fountains of water came forth; ²⁵ before the mountains were settled, and before all hills, He begot me. ²⁶ The Lord made countries and uninhabited lands, and the highest inhabited parts of the world. ²⁷ When He prepared the heaven, I was present with Him; and when He prepared His throne upon the winds; ²⁸ and when He strengthened the clouds above, and when He secured the fountains of the earth;

²⁸ and when He strengthened the clouds above, and when He secured the fountains of the earth; ²⁹ and when He strengthened the foundations of the earth;

²⁹ and when He strengthened the foundations of the earth; ³⁰ I was by Him, suiting myself to Him, I was that in which He took delight; and daily I rejoiced in His presence continually.

²² The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the righteous; it enriches him, and grief of heart shall not be added to it.

⁷ All the rivers run into the sea; and yet the sea is not filled. To the place from which the rivers come, there they return again.

¹³ And I saw that wisdom excels folly, as much as light excels darkness.

²¹ For there is such a man that his labor is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in fortitude; yet this man shall give his portion to one who has not labored for it. This is also vanity and a great evil.

²⁹ But behold, this have I found, that God made man upright; but they have sought out many devices.

³ If the clouds are filled with rain, they pour it out upon the earth; and if a tree fall southward, or if it fall northward, in the place where the tree shall fall, there it shall be.

⁷ Moreover the light is sweet, and it is good for the eyes to see the sun.

¹ And remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of evil come, and the years overtake you in which you shall say, I have no pleasure in them.

⁸ And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go to this people? And I said, behold, I am here, send me. And He said, Go, and say to this people,

¹⁰ For the stars of heaven, and Orion, and all the host of heaven, shall not give their light; and it shall be dark at sunrise, and the moon shall not give her light.

²³ And the brick shall decay, and the wall shall fall; for the Lord shall reign from out of Zion, and out of Jerusalem, and shall be glorified before His elders.

¹⁶ He shall dwell in a high cave of a strong rock; bread shall be given to him, and his water shall be sure.

¹⁶ O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, who sits upon the cherubim, You alone are the God of every kingdom of the world; You have made heaven and earth.

¹² Who has measured the water in His hand, and the heaven with a span, and all the earth in a handful? Who has weighed the mountains in scales, and the forests in a balance? ¹³ Who has known the mind of the Lord? And who has been His counselor, to instruct Him? ¹⁴ Or with whom has He taken counsel, and he has instructed Him? Or who has taught Him judgment, or who has taught Him the way of understanding;

²⁶ Lift up your eyes on high, and see, who has displayed all these things? Even He that brings forth His host by number; He shall call them all by name by means of His great glory, and by the power of His might; nothing has escaped you.

²⁸ And now, have you not known? Have you not heard? The eternal God, the God that formed the ends of the earth, shall not hunger, nor be weary, and there is no searching of His understanding.

⁵ Thus says the Lord God, who made the heaven, and established it; who settled the earth, and the things in it, and gives breath to the people in it, and spirit to them that tread on it;

⁷ even all who are called by My name; for I have prepared him for My glory, and I have formed him, and have made him;

²⁴ Thus says the Lord that redeems you, and who formed you from the womb: I am the Lord that performs all things; I stretched out the heaven alone, and established the earth.

⁷ I am He that prepared light, and formed darkness; who makes peace, and creates calamity; I am the Lord God, that does all these things.

¹⁸ Thus says the Lord that made the heaven, this God that created the earth, and made it; He marked it out, He made it not in vain, but formed it to be inhabited; I am the Lord, and there is no other.

¹³ And you have forgotten God who made you, who made the sky and founded the earth; and you were continually afraid because of the wrath of him that afflicted you; for whereas he counseled to take you away, yet now where is the wrath of him that afflicted you?

¹⁶ I will put My words into your mouth, and I will shelter you under the shadow of My hand, with which I fixed the sky, and founded the earth; and the Lord shall say to Zion, You are My people.

¹⁰ For as the rain shall come down, or snow from heaven, and shall not return until it has saturated the earth, and it bring forth and bud, and give seed to the sower, and bread for food; ¹¹ so shall My word be, whatever shall proceed out of My mouth, it shall by no means return to Me void, until all the things which I willed have been accomplished; and I will make your ways prosperous, and will effect My commands.

¹⁹ And you shall no more have the sun for a light by day, nor shall the rising of the moon lighten your night; but the Lord shall be your everlasting light, and God your glory.

¹¹ And as the earth putting forth her flowers, and as a garden its seed; so shall the Lord, even the Lord, cause righteousness to spring forth, and exaltation before all nations.

⁸ And now, O Lord, You are our Father, and we are clay, all of us the work of Your hands.

¹⁷ For there shall be a new heaven and a new earth; and they shall not at all remember the former, neither shall they at all come into their mind.

²³ I looked upon the earth, and behold, it was not; and to the sky, and there was no light in it.

²² Will you not fear Me? Says the Lord; and will you not fear before Me, who has set the sand as a boundary for the sea, as a perpetual ordinance, and it shall not pass it. Yes, it shall rage, but not prevail; and its waves shall roar, but not pass over it.

² Thus says the Lord: Learn not the ways of the heathen, and be not alarmed at the signs of the sky; for they are alarmed at them, falling on their faces.

¹⁰ They must certainly be borne, for they cannot ride of themselves. Fear them not, for they cannot do any evil, and there is no good in them.

¹² It is the Lord that made the earth by His strength, who set up the world by His wisdom, and by His understanding stretched out the sky,

¹² It is the Lord that made the earth by His strength, who set up the world by His wisdom, and by His understanding stretched out the sky, ¹³ and set abundance of waters in the sky, and brought up clouds from the ends of the earth. He made lightnings for the rain, and brought forth light out of His treasures.

⁸ And he shall be as a thriving tree by the waters, and he shall cast forth his root toward a moist place. He shall not fear when heat comes, and there shall be shady branches upon him; he shall not fear in a year of drought, and he shall not fail to bear fruit.

⁵ I have made the earth by My great power, and by My outstretched arm, and I will give it to whomsoever it shall seem good in My eyes. ⁶ I have given the earth to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to serve him, and the wild beasts of the field to labor for him.

³⁵ Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun for a light by day, the moon and the stars for a light by night, and makes a roaring in the sea, so that its waves roar: the Lord Almighty is His name:

¹⁷ O great Lord! You have made the heaven and the earth by Your great power, and with Your high and lofty arm; nothing can be hidden from You.

¹⁵ The Lord made the earth by His power, preparing the world by His wisdom, by His understanding He stretched out the heaven.

³⁸ Out of the mouth of the Most High there shall not come forth evil and good.

² Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him: You have become like a lion among the nations, and as a serpent that is in the sea; and you made assaults with your rivers, and troubled the waters with your feet, and trampled your rivers.

⁷ And I will veil the heavens when you are extinguished, and will darken the stars thereof; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light. ⁸ All the bodies that give light in the sky shall be darkened over you, and I will bring darkness upon the earth, says the Lord God.

¹ Thus says the Lord God: The gate that is in the inner court, that looks eastward, shall be shut the six working days; but let it be opened on the Sabbath day, and it shall be opened on the day of the new moon.

⁶ And on the day of the new moon a calf without blemish, and six lambs, and there shall be a ram without blemish;

⁸ And she knew not that I gave her her grain, and wine, and oil, and multiplied silver to her: but she made silver and gold images for Baal.

¹⁰ Before them the earth shall be confounded, and the sky shall be shaken: the sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their light.

³⁰ And I will show wonders in heaven, and upon the earth, blood, and fire, and vapors of smoke. ³¹ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.

¹⁵ The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their light.

⁸ who makes all things, and changes them, and turns darkness into the morning, and darkens the day into night; who calls for the water of the sea, and pours it out on the face of the earth: the Lord is His name;

⁹ And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord God, that the sun shall go down at noon, and the light shall be darkened on the earth by day;

⁹ And he said to them, I am a servant of the Lord; and I worship the Lord God of heaven, who made the sea, and the dry land.

^{17 (2:1)} Now the Lord had commanded a great whale to swallow up Jonah; and Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights.

^{10 (2:11)} And the whale was commanded by the Lord, and it cast up Jonah on the dry land.

¹⁰ There is thrusting forth, and shaking, and tumult, and heart breaking, and loosing of knees, and pangs on all loins; and the faces of all are as the blackening of a pot.

¹¹ The sun was exalted, and the moon stood still in her course: Your darts shall go forth at the light, at the brightness of the gleaming of Your spear.

¹ The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel. Thus says the Lord, that stretches out the sky, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him.

¹⁵ And did he not do well? And there was the residue of his spirit. But you said, What does God seek but a seed? But take heed to your own spirit, and forsake not the wife of your youth.

² saying, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East, and have come to worship Him."

¹⁰ But even now, the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

¹¹ Give us today our daily bread.

²⁵ "Because of this I say to you, do not worry about your life--what you shall eat, or what you shall drink--nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? ²⁶ Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap, nor do they gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than they?

³⁰ But if God thus clothes the grass of the field, which exists today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

¹⁶ You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grape clusters from thorns, or figs from thistles? ¹⁷ Thus every good tree produces good fruit, but a rotten tree produces evil fruit. ¹⁸ A good tree cannot produce evil fruit, nor can a rotten tree produce good fruit. ¹⁹ Every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. ²⁰ Consequently, by their fruits you shall know them.

³ And reaching out His hand, Jesus touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

²⁷ So the men marveled, saying, "What kind of Man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?"

²⁵ At that time Jesus answered and said, "I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them to babes.

⁴⁰ For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

²⁴ Another parable He set before them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man sowing good seed in his field. ²⁵ But while the men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went away. ²⁶ But when the stalk had sprouted and produced fruit, then the tares also appeared.

² He answered and said to them, "When evening comes you say, 'Fine weather, for the sky is red'. ³ And in the morning, 'Today will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' Hypocrites! Indeed you know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.

⁴ And He answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female,'

²⁹ "Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give its light; and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour, darkness came upon all the land.

²⁸ For the earth produces fruit of itself: first a shoot, then a head of grain, then full wheat in the head of grain.

⁶ But from the beginning of the creation, God 'made them male and female.'

¹⁹ For in those days will be tribulation, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of creation which God created until now, and never again shall be.

²⁴ "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its radiance;

⁴³ "For a good tree does not produce rotten fruit, nor does a rotten tree produce good fruit. ⁴⁴ For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a thorn bush.

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

²⁵ "And there shall be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, as the sea and the waves roar, ²⁶ men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming upon the earth, for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

⁴⁵ Then the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.

¹ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² He was in the beginning with God. ³ All things came to be through Him, and without Him nothing came to be which has come to be.

⁵ And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not apprehend it.

⁹ That was the true Light which lightens every man coming into the world.

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness more than the light, because their works were evil.

¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, "My Father has been working until now, and I am working."

⁴³ And having said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!"

²³ Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and we will make Our home with him.

¹⁹ And I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and vapor of smoke. ²⁰ The sun shall be changed into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome Day of the Lord.

²⁴ So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one mind and said: "Lord, You are God, who made heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them,

⁴⁷ For so the Lord has commanded us: 'I have set you to be a light of the nations, that you should be for salvation to the end of the earth.' "

¹⁵ and saying, "Men! Why are you doing these things? We men are of the same nature as you, preaching the gospel to you, that you must turn from these useless things to turn to the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all the things in them,

¹⁷ And yet He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, giving to you rains from heaven and fruitbearing seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness."

²⁰ For you are bringing some strange things to our ears. Therefore we desire to know what these things might mean."

²⁴ The God who made the world and all the things in it, Him being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in sanctuaries made by human hands,

²⁴ The God who made the world and all the things in it, Him being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in sanctuaries made by human hands, ²⁵ nor by the hands of men is He served, as though He needed anything, for He gives to all life, and breath, with respect to all things.

²⁵ nor by the hands of men is He served, as though He needed anything, for He gives to all life, and breath, with respect to all things. ²⁶ And He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell upon all the face of the earth, and He ordained their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,

²⁸ for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring.'

²⁸ for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring.' ²⁹ "Therefore, being the offspring of God, we ought not to suppose that the Godhead is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and the imagination of man.

¹⁹ Because that which is known of God is manifest among them, for God has shown it to them. ²⁰ For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things made, both His eternal power and Divinity, so that they are without excuse.

³⁶ For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things; to Him be the glory forever! Amen.

¹³ each one's work shall be made manifest; for the Day shall reveal it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall test each one's work, as to what sort it is.

⁶ yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.

⁷ For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.

⁷ For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. ⁸ For man is not from woman, but woman from man. ⁹ Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.

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

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

⁴ among whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that the illumination of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine on them.

⁶ Because it is God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness;

⁷ Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for what a man sows, this also he will reap.

¹⁰ For we are His handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

⁹ and to enlighten all as to what is the administration of the mystery, which had been hidden from the ages in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ;

²⁴ and that you put on the new man which was created in the likeness of God, in true righteousness and holiness.

⁸ For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light--

¹³ But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. ¹⁴ Therefore He says: "Awake, you who are sleeping, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."

¹⁵ He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation, ¹⁶ because by Him all things were created, those in the heavens and those on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through Him and for Him. ¹⁷ And He is before all things, and in Him all things are held together.

²⁶ the mystery which has been hidden from the ages and from generations, but now was revealed to His saints.

¹⁰ and have put on the new man who is renewed in full knowledge according to the image of Him who created it,

⁵ You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.

³ forbidding to marry, commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who are believers and have come to know the truth. ⁴ Because every creature of God is good, and not one is to be rejected, being received with thanksgiving,

¹⁶ who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or is able to see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen. ¹⁷ Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to put their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who provides all things richly for us to enjoy,

² has in these last days spoken to us by the Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;

¹⁰ And: "You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.

⁶ But someone somewhere testified, saying: "What is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You visit him? ⁷ You made him a little lower than the angels, You crowned him with glory and honor, ⁸ You have subjected all things under his feet." For in subjecting to him all things, He left nothing not subjected to him. But now we do not yet see all things having been subjected to him. ⁹ But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, through the suffering of death, having been crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God, He might taste death for everyone.

⁴ For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.

⁷ For the earth which drinks the rain often coming upon it, and bears suitable vegetation for those on account of whom it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God;

³ By faith we understand that time itself was framed by a word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

⁷ For every kind of both beasts and birds, of both reptiles and sea creatures, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind.

⁹ With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who are created according to the likeness of God.

¹² It is not possible, my brothers, for a fig tree to make olives, or a vine to make figs, is it? Thus no spring is able to produce both salt and sweet water.

⁵ For this they willingly forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth, consisting out of water and through water,

¹ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have gazed upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life--

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

⁸ Again, a new commandment I am writing to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines.

⁷ For there are three that bear witness: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.

¹⁴ "And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write, 'These things says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the beginning of the creation of God:

¹¹ "You are worthy, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive the glory and the honor and the power; because You created all things, and by Your will they existed and they were created."

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

¹² Then the fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them was darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.

² And he opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a burning furnace. And the sun was darkened, and the air, from the smoke of the shaft.

⁶ and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created the heaven and the things in it, the earth and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it, that there should be no more delay;

⁷ saying with a loud voice, "Fear the Lord and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and you shall worship Him who made heaven and earth, and the sea and fountains of waters."

⁸ Then the fourth one poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was granted to him to burn men with fire. ⁹ And men were burned with severe burns, and men blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent to give Him glory.

⁶ And He said to me, " I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give from the spring of the water of life freely to him that is thirsty.

²³ The city had no need of the sun nor of the moon to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.

¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."
