²⁰ And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

¹⁶ The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

²⁷ For thus says Yahweh, "The whole land shall be a desolation; yet will I not make a full end.

²⁸ For this the earth will mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and I have not repented, neither will I turn back from it."
