⁵⁰ Did not my hand make all these things?

¹¹ For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and everything in them, and he took his rest on the seventh day: for this reason the Lord has given his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy.

¹⁷ Ah Lord God! see, you have made the heaven and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm, and there is nothing you are not able to do:

¹¹ This is what you are to say to them: The gods who have not made the heavens and the earth will be cut off from the earth and from under the heavens.

² For all these things my hand has made, and they are mine, says the Lord; but to this man only will I give attention, to him who is poor and broken in spirit, fearing my word.

¹² I have made the earth, forming man on it: by my hands the heavens have been stretched out, and all the stars put in their ordered places.

⁷ I am the giver of light and the maker of the dark; causing blessing, and sending troubles; I am the Lord, who does all these things.

⁸ Let righteousness come down, O heavens, from on high, and let the sky send it down like rain: let the earth be open to give the fruit of salvation, causing righteousness to come up with it; I the Lord have made it come about.

²⁴ The Lord, who has taken up your cause, and who gave you life in your mother's body, says, I am the Lord who makes all things; stretching out the heavens by myself, and giving the earth its limits; who was with me?

⁶ Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things in them; who keeps faith for ever:

⁹ I will take no ox out of your house, or he-goats from your flocks;

¹⁰ For every beast of the woodland is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.

¹¹ I see all the birds of the mountains, and the beasts of the field are mine.

¹² If I had need of food, I would not give you word of it; for the earth is mine and all its wealth.

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

⁷ He makes the waters of the sea come together in a mass; he keeps the deep seas in store-houses.

⁸ Let the earth be full of the fear of the Lord; let all the people of the world be in holy fear of him.

⁹ For he gave the word, and it was done; by his order it was fixed for ever.

¹⁵ Good people, why are you doing these things? We are men with the same feelings as you, and we give you the good news so that you may be turned away from these foolish things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all things in them:
