With my great power and outstretched arm I made the earth and its people and the animals that are on it, and I give it to anyone I please.

“ It is I who by my great power and my outstretched arm have made the earth, with the men and animals that are on the earth, and I give it to whomever it seems right to me.

‘ I have made the earth, mankind, and the animals which are on the face of the earth by My great power and by My outstretched arm, and I will give it to the one who is pleasing in My sight.

“ ‘ Lord and King, you have reached out your great and powerful arm. You have made the heavens and the earth. Nothing is too hard for you.

May the Lord bless you. He is the Maker of heaven and earth.The highest heavens belong to the Lord. But he has given the earth to human beings.

“‘ The decision is announced by holy messengers. So all who are alive will know that the Most High God is King. He rules over all kingdoms on earth. He gives them to anyone he wants. Sometimes he puts the least important people in charge of them.’

Blessed are those who depend on the God of Jacob for help. Blessed are those who put their hope in the Lord their God.He is the Maker of heaven and earth and the ocean. He made everything in them. He remains faithful forever.

God created the heavens and stretches them out. The Lord spreads out the earth with everything that grows on it. He gives breath to its people. He gives life to those who walk on it. He says to his servant,

“ I used my power to make the earth. I used my wisdom to set the world in place. I used my understanding to spread out the heavens.

I made the earth. I created human beings to live there. My own hands spread out the heavens. I put all the stars in their places.

“ You are worthy, our Lord and God! You are worthy to receive glory and honor and power. You are worthy because you created all things. They were created and they exist. This is the way you planned it.”

The Lord speaks to the Jews living in Babylon. He says,“ Here is what you must tell the people of the nations. Tell them,‘ Your gods did not make the heavens and the earth. In fact, these gods will disappear from the earth. They will vanish from under the heavens.’ ”But God used his power to make the earth. His wisdom set the world in place. His understanding spread out the heavens.

By his understanding he made the heavens. His faithful love continues forever.He spread out the earth on the waters. His faithful love continues forever.He made the great lights in the sky. His faithful love continues forever.He made the sun to rule over the day. His faithful love continues forever.He made the moon and stars to rule over the night. His faithful love continues forever.

With my own hand I laid the foundations of the earth. With my right hand I spread out the heavens. When I send for them, they come and stand ready to obey me.

“ Friends, why are you doing this? We are only human, just like you. We are bringing you good news. Turn away from these worthless things. Turn to the living God. He is the one who made the heavens and the earth and the sea. He made everything in them.

Praise him, all his angels. Praise him, all his angels in heaven.Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all you shining stars.Praise him, you highest heavens. Praise him, you waters above the skies.Let all of them praise the name of the Lord, because at his command they were created.

All things were created in him. He created everything in heaven and on earth. He created everything that can be seen and everything that can’t be seen. He created kings, powers, rulers and authorities. All things have been created by him and for him.

In the beginning, the Word was already there. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.He was with God in the beginning.All things were made through him. Nothing that has been made was made without him.

How can you forget me? I made you. I stretch out the heavens. I lay the foundations of the earth. Why are you terrified every day? Is it because those who are angry with you are crushing you? Is it because they are trying to destroy you? Their anger can’t harm you anymore.

He also says,“ Lord, in the beginning you made the earth secure. You placed it on its foundations. The heavens are the work of your hands.They will pass away. But you remain. They will all wear out like a piece of clothing.

Don’t you know who made everything? Haven’t you heard about him? Hasn’t it been told to you from the beginning? Haven’t you understood it ever since the earth was made?God sits on his throne high above the earth. Its people look like grasshoppers to him. He spreads out the heavens like a cover. He sets it up like a tent to live in.He takes the power of princes away from them. He reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.They are planted. They are scattered like seeds. They put down roots in the ground. But as soon as that happens, God blows on them and they dry up. Then a windstorm sweeps them away like straw.“ So who will you compare me with? Who is equal to me?” says the Holy One.Look up toward the sky. Who created everything you see? The Lord causes the stars to come out at night one by one. He calls out each one of them by name. His power and strength are great. So none of the stars is missing.

The Lord says,“ People of Israel, I set you free. I formed you when you were born as a nation.“ I am the Lord. I am the Maker of everything. I alone stretch out the heavens. I spread out the earth by myself.

In six days the Lord made the heavens, the earth, the sea and everything in them. But he rested on the seventh day. So the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

But in these last days, he has spoken to us through his Son. He is the one whom God appointed to receive all things. God also made everything through him.

“ Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you know.Who measured it? I am sure you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it?What was it built on? Who laid its most important stone?When it happened, the morning stars sang together. All the angels shouted with joy.“ Who created the ocean? Who caused it to be born?I put clouds over it as if they were its clothes. I wrapped it in thick darkness.I set limits for it. I put its doors and metal bars in place.I said,‘ You can come this far. But you can’t come any farther. Here is where your proud waves have to stop.’“ Job, have you ever commanded the morning to come? Have you ever shown the sun where to rise?The daylight takes the earth by its edges as if it were a blanket. Then it shakes sinful people out of it.The earth takes shape like clay stamped with an official’s mark. Its features stand out like the different parts of your clothes.Sinners would rather have darkness than light. When the light comes, their power is broken.“ Have you traveled to the springs at the bottom of the ocean? Have you walked in its deepest parts?Have the gates of death been shown to you? Have you seen the gates of the deepest darkness?Do you understand how big the earth is? Tell me, if you know all these things.“ Where does light come from? And where does darkness live?Can you take them to their places? Do you know the paths to their houses?I am sure you know! After all, you were already born! You have lived so many years!“ Have you entered the places where the snow is kept? Have you seen the storerooms for the hail?I store up snow and hail for times of trouble. I keep them for days of war and battle.Where does lightning come from? Where do the east winds live that blow across the earth?Who tells the rain where it should fall? Who makes paths for the thunderstorms?They bring water to places where no one lives. They water deserts that do not have anyone in them.They satisfy the needs of dry and empty lands. They make grass start growing there.Does the rain have a father? Who is the father of the drops of dew?Does the ice have a mother? Who is the mother of the frost from the heavens?The waters become as hard as stone. The surface of the ocean freezes over.“ Can you tie up the cords of the Pleiades? Can you untie the belt that Orion wears?Can you bring out all the stars in their seasons? Can you lead out the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper?Do you know the laws that govern the heavens? Can you rule over the earth the way I do?“ Can you give orders to the clouds? Can you make them pour rain down on you?Do you send the lightning bolts on their way? Do they report to you,‘ Here we are’?Who gives the ibis wisdom? Who gives the rooster understanding?Who is wise enough to count the clouds? Who can tip over the water jars of the heavens?I tip them over when the ground becomes hard. I do it when the dirt sticks together.“ Do you hunt for food for mother lions? Do you satisfy the hunger of their cubs?Some of them lie low in their dens. Others lie waiting in the bushes.Who provides food for ravens when their babies cry out to me? They wander around because they do not have anything to eat.

He destroyed many nations. He killed mighty kings.He killed Sihon, the king of the Amorites, and Og, the king of Bashan. He killed all the kings of Canaan.He gave their land as a gift to his people Israel.

When you come to the Ammonites, do not attack them. Do not make them angry. If you do, they will go to war against you. I will not give you any of their land as your own. I have given it to the people in the family line of Lot. I have given it to them as their own.”

Don’t make one that looks like any animal on earth or any bird that flies in the sky.

Then the Lord said to me,“ Do not attack the Moabites. Do not even make them angry. If you do, they will go to war against you. I will not give you any part of their land. I have given Moab to the people in the family line of Lot. I have given it to them as their own.”

The Lord your God has blessed you in everything your hands have done. He watched over you when you traveled through that huge desert. For these 40 years the Lord your God has been with you. So you have had everything you need.

All the land animals will be afraid of you. All the birds in the sky will be afraid of you. Every creature that moves along the ground will be afraid of you. So will every fish in the seas. Every living thing is put under your control.Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. I have already given you the green plants for food. Now I am giving you everything.

The Lord showed you those things so that you might know he is God. There is no other God except him.

Then God said,“ I am giving you every plant on the face of the whole earth that produces its own seeds. I am giving you every tree that has fruit with seeds in it. All of them will be given to you for food.I am giving every green plant as food for all the land animals and for all the birds in the sky. I am also giving the plants to all the creatures that move along the ground. I am giving them to every living thing that breathes.” And that’s exactly what happened.

So don’t make a statue of a god. Don’t commit that horrible sin. Don’t do it even after you have had children and grandchildren. Don’t do it even after you have lived in the land a long time. If you do, that will be an evil thing in the sight of the Lord your God. You will make him angry.

But they are your people. They belong to you. You used your great power to bring them out of Egypt. You reached out your mighty arm and saved them.”

The Rephaites were strong people. There were large numbers of them. They were as tall as the Anakites. The Lord destroyed the Rephaites to make room for the Ammonites. So the Ammonites drove them out. Then they settled in the territory of the Rephaites.

In the beginning you made the earth secure. You placed it on its foundations. Your hands created the heavens.

Ask now about the days of long ago. Find out what happened long before your time. Ask about what has happened since the time God created human beings on the earth. Ask from one end of the world to the other. Has anything as great as this ever happened? Has anything like it ever been heard of?

The Most High God gave the nations their lands. He divided up the human race. He set up borders for the nations. He did it based on the number of the angels in his heavenly court.

“ Cyrus, the king of Persia, says,“‘ The Lord is the God of heaven. He has given me all the kingdoms on earth. He has appointed me to build a temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah.

“ The spirits of the dead are suffering greatly. So are those that are under the waters. And so are all those that live in them.The place of the dead is naked in the sight of God. The grave lies open in front of him.He spreads out the northern skies over empty space. He hangs the earth over nothing.He wraps up water in his clouds. They are heavy, but they don’t burst.He covers the face of the full moon. He spreads his clouds over it.He marks out the place where the sky meets the sea. He marks out the boundary between light and darkness.The pillars of the heavens shake. They are terrified when his anger blazes out.With his power he stirred up the oceans. In his wisdom he cut the sea monster Rahab to pieces.His breath made the skies bright and clear. His hand wounded the serpent that glides through the sea.Those are only on the edges of what he does. They are only the soft whispers that we hear from him. So who can understand how very powerful he is?”

“ Honor your father and mother, just as the Lord your God has commanded you. Then you will live a long time in the land he is giving you. And things will go well with you there.

“ Anyone who murders a human being will be killed by a human being. That is because I have made human beings so that they are like me.

“ He is the God who made the world. He also made everything in it. He is the Lord of heaven and earth. He doesn’t live in temples built by human hands.

“ My servant Moses is dead. Now then, I want you and all these people to get ready to go across the Jordan River. I want all of you to go into the land I am about to give to the Israelites.I will give all of you every place you walk on, just as I promised Moses.
