Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

The earth didn’t have any shape. And it was empty. There was darkness over the surface of the waves. At that time, the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

先知说：“我观看地，不料，地是空虚混沌；我观看天，天也无光。

你发出你的灵，它们便受造；你使地面更换为新。

创造诸天的耶和华，制造成全大地的神，他创造坚定大地，并非使地荒凉，是要给人居住。他如此说：“我是耶和华，再没有别神。

诸天藉耶和华的命而造；万象藉他口中的气而成。

神将北极铺在空中，将大地悬在虚空；

谁曾用手心量诸水，用手虎口量苍天，用升斗盛大地的尘土，用秤称山岭，用天平平冈陵呢？谁曾测度耶和华的心，或作他的谋士指教他呢？他与谁商议，谁教导他，谁将公平的路指示他，又将知识教训他，将通达的道指教他呢？

看哪，这不过是神工作的些微；我们所听于他的是何等细微的声音！他大能的雷声谁能明透呢？”

尼尼微现在空虚荒凉，人心消化，双膝相碰，腰都疼痛，脸都变色。
