² You are clothed with light as with a robe; stretching out the heavens like a curtain:

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.

⁹ I went on looking till the seats of kings were placed, and one like a very old man took his seat: his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head was like clean wool; his seat was flames of fire and its wheels burning fire.

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.

¹ The word of the Lord about Israel. The Lord by whom the heavens are stretched out and the bases of the earth put in place, and the spirit of man formed inside him, has said:

² And he was changed in form before them; and his face was shining like the sun, and his clothing became white as light.

¹⁶ Who only has life for ever, living in light to which no man may come near; whom no man has seen or is able to see: to whom be honour and power for ever. So be it.

¹⁰ You, Lord, at the first did put the earth on its base, and the heavens are the works of your hands:

¹¹ They will come to their end; but you are for ever; they will become old as a robe;

¹² They will be rolled up like a cloth, even like a robe, and they will be changed: but you are the same and your years will have no end.

⁵ This is the word which came to us from him and which we give to you, that God is light and in him there is nothing dark.
