²⁷ When he made ready the heavens I was there: when he put an arch over the face of the deep:

²² It is he who is seated over the arch of the earth, and the people in it are as small as locusts; by him the heavens are stretched out like an arch, and made ready like a tent for a living-place.

¹⁹ The Lord by wisdom put in position the bases of the earth; by reason he put the heavens in their place.

² But now, at the end of these days, it has come to us through his Son, to whom he has given all things for a heritage, and through whom he made the order of the generations;

¹⁶ For by him all things were made, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, authorities, lords, rulers, and powers; all things were made by him and for him;

¹² He has made the earth by his power, he has made the world strong in its place by his wisdom, and by his wise design the heavens have been stretched out.

¹¹ He will give food to his flock like a keeper of sheep; with his arm he will get it together, and will take up the lambs on his breast, gently guiding those which are with young.

⁵ To him who by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

¹⁹ The Lord has made ready his high seat in the heavens; his kingdom is ruling over all.

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

¹⁰ By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.
