² And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

²³ I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was waste and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.

³⁰ Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created; And thou renewest the face of the ground.

¹⁸ For thus saith Jehovah that created the heavens, the God that formed the earth and made it, that established it and created it not a waste, that formed it to be inhabited: I am Jehovah; and there is none else.
