¹ In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

⁷ He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

² Why, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it can't redeem? or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stink, because there is no water, and die for thirst.
