8:22 The Lord created
before his deeds of long ago.
8:23 From eternity I was appointed,
from the beginning, from before the world existed.
8:24 When there were no deep oceans
when there were no springs overflowing
8:25 before the mountains were set in place –
before the hills – I was born,
8:26 before he made the earth and its fields,
or the beginning
8:27 When he established the heavens, I was there;
when he marked out the horizon
8:28 when he established the clouds above,
when the fountains of the deep grew strong,
8:29 when he gave the sea his decree
that the waters should not pass over his command,
when he marked out the foundations of the earth,
8:30 then I was
and I was his delight
rejoicing before him at all times,
8:31 rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth,
and delighting
44:24 This is what the Lord, your protector,
the one who formed you in the womb:
“I am the Lord, who made everything,
who alone stretched out the sky,
who fashioned the earth all by myself,
45:12 I made the earth,
I created the people who live
It was me – my hands
I give orders to all the heavenly lights.
45:18 For this is what the Lord says,
the one who created the sky –
he is the true God,
the one who formed the earth and made it;
he established it,
he did not create it without order,
he formed it to be inhabited –
“I am the Lord, I have no peer.
1:1 In the beginning
1:16 for all things in heaven and on earth were created by him – all things, whether visible or invisible, whether thrones or dominions,
1:17 He himself is before all things and all things are held together
