Genesis 1:5–6

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

⁷I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

⁵Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

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

²²While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

²⁰Thus saith the Lord; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;

⁸And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

²Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

¹³But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

¹³Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.

²³And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

³¹And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

¹³And the evening and the morning were the third day.

¹⁹And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

¹⁵He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.

¹⁸Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?

⁶By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

⁷He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

⁸He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

¹²He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.

¹³When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.

²Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

⁴Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.

⁵To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever.

⁶To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.

⁹For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

¹THE heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

¹THE burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.

²⁰And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

¹PRAISE ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.

¹¹¶ In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

¹²And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

¹³By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

¹¹Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:

³If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.

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

²²Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

²³Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?

²⁴By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?

²⁵Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;

²⁶To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;

¹⁰But the Lord is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
