¹ And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host;

⁶ By the word of Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.

¹⁵ And Hezekiah prayeth before Jehovah, and saith, `O Jehovah, God of Israel, inhabiting the cherubs, Thou `art' God Himself -- Thyself alone -- to all the kingdoms of the earth: Thou hast made the heavens and the earth.

¹⁹ `And lest thou lift up thine eyes towards the heavens, and hast seen the sun, and the moon, and the stars, all the host of the heavens, and thou hast been forced, and hast bowed thyself to them, and served them, which Jehovah thy God hath apportioned to all the peoples under the whole heavens.

¹⁷ between Me and the sons of Israel it `is' a sign -- to the age; for six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, and in the seventh day He hath ceased, and is refreshed.'

¹ In the beginning of God's preparing the heavens and the earth --

¹¹ for six days hath Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that `is' in them, and resteth in the seventh day; therefore hath Jehovah blessed the Sabbath-day, and doth sanctify it.

³ and he doth go and serve other gods, and doth bow himself to them, and to the sun, or to the moon, or to any of the host of the heavens, which I have not commanded --

³ for we do enter into the rest -- we who did believe, as He said, `So I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest -- ;' and yet the works were done from the foundation of the world,

¹⁷ For, lo, I am creating new heavens, and a new earth, And the former things are not remembered, Nor do they ascend on the heart.

² And have spread them to sun, and to moon, And to all the host of the heavens, that they have loved, And that they have served, And that they have walked after, And that they have sought, And to which they have bowed themselves, They are not gathered, nor buried, They are for dung on the face of the ground.

¹² The maker of the earth by His power, The establisher of the world by His wisdom, Who, by His understanding, stretched forth the heavens,

¹⁶ Not like these `is' the Portion of Jacob, For framer of all things `is' He, And Israel `is' the rod of His inheritance, Jehovah of Hosts `is' His name.

¹ The burden of a word of Jehovah on Israel. An affirmation of Jehovah, Stretching out heaven, and founding earth, And forming the spirit of man in his midst.

¹³ And suddenly there came with the messenger a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying,

²⁴ and they having heard, with one accord did lift up the voice unto God, and said, `Lord, thou `art' God, who didst make the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all that `are' in them,

⁴² and God did turn, and did give them up to do service to the host of the heaven, according as it hath been written in the scroll of the prophets: Slain beasts and sacrifices did ye offer to Me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

⁹ For high have the heavens been above the earth, So high have been My ways above your ways, And My thoughts above your thoughts.

¹³ Also, My hand hath founded earth, And My right hand stretched out the heavens, I am calling unto them, they stand together.

⁴ These `are' births of the heavens and of the earth in their being prepared, in the day of Jehovah God's making earth and heavens;

³ and he turneth and buildeth the high places that Hezekiah his father destroyed, and raiseth altars for Baal, and maketh a shrine, as did Ahab king of Israel, and boweth himself to all the host of the heavens, and serveth them.

⁴ And he hath built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which Jehovah said, `In Jerusalem I put My name.'

⁵ And he buildeth altars to all the host of the heavens in the two courts of the house of Jehovah;

¹² And Huram saith, `Blessed `is' Jehovah, God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, knowing wisdom and understanding, who doth build a house for Jehovah, and a house for his kingdom.

⁶ Thou `art' He, O Jehovah, Thyself -- Thou hast made the heavens, the heavens of the heavens, and all their host, the earth and all that `are' on it, the seas and all that `are' in them, and Thou art keeping all of them alive, and the host of the heavens to Thee are bowing themselves.

⁹ `Who hath not known in all these, That the hand of Jehovah hath done this?

⁹ For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it standeth.

¹¹ Thine `are' the heavens -- the earth also `is' Thine, The habitable world and its fulness, Thou hast founded them.

¹² North and south Thou hast appointed them, Tabor and Hermon in Thy name do sing.

¹³ Thou hast an arm with might, Strong is Thy hand -- high Thy right hand.

² Covering himself `with' light as a garment, Stretching out the heavens as a curtain,

⁵ To Him making the heavens by understanding, For to the age `is' His kindness.

⁶ To Him spreading the earth over the waters, For to the age `is' His kindness.

⁷ To Him making great lights, For to the age `is' His kindness.

⁸ The sun to rule by day, For to the age `is' His kindness.

⁶ Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that `is' in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,

⁴ And consumed have been all the host of the heavens, And rolled together as a book have been the heavens, And all their hosts do fade, As the fading of a leaf of a vine, And as the fading one of a fig-tree.

²⁶ Lift up on high your eyes, And see -- who hath prepared these? He who is bringing out by number their host, To all of them by name He calleth, By abundance of strength (And `he is' strong in power) not one is lacking.

²⁷ Why sayest thou, O Jacob? and speakest thou, O Israel? `My way hath been hid from Jehovah, And from my God my judgment passeth over.'

²⁸ Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard? The God of the age -- Jehovah, Preparer of the ends of the earth, Is not wearied nor fatigued, There is no searching of His understanding.

⁵ Thus said God, Jehovah, preparing The heavens, and stretching them out, Spreading out the earth and its productions, Giving breath to the people on it, And spirit to those walking in it.

¹² I made earth, and man on it prepared, I -- My hands stretched out the heavens, And all their host I have commanded.

¹⁸ For thus said Jehovah, Creator of heaven, He is God, Former of earth, and its Maker, He established it -- not empty He prepared it, For inhabiting He formed it: `I `am' Jehovah, and there is none else.

¹⁰ And God calleth to the dry land `Earth,' and to the collection of the waters He hath called `Seas;' and God seeth that `it is' good.
