Proverbs 8:29

I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that you will soon utterly perish from off the land which you go over the Jordan to possess it. You will not prolong your days on it, but will utterly be destroyed.

God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear;” and it was so.

He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.

“Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding.

My flesh trembles for fear of you. I am afraid of your judgments.

If you will not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and fearful name, YAHWEH your God,

For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.

Yahweh sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, Yahweh sits as King forever.

You rule the pride of the sea. When its waves rise up, you calm them.

He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still.

Who shouldn’t fear you, King of the nations? For it belongs to you. Because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is no one like you.

Hear Yahweh’s word, you children of Israel; for Yahweh has a charge against the inhabitants of the land: “Indeed there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land.

Yahweh also has a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his deeds he will repay him.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

With the blast of your nostrils, the waters were piled up. The floods stood upright as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.

the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap a great way off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off. Then the people passed over near Jericho.

He raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts up the needy from the dunghill to make them sit with princes and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are Yahweh’s. He has set the world on them.

He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.

What were its foundations fastened on? Or who laid its cornerstone,

“Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke out of the womb,

marked out for it my bound, set bars and doors,

though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling.

You still the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations.

Say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns.” The world is also established. It can’t be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.

You have set a boundary that they may not pass over, that they don’t turn again to cover the earth.

“Come now, and let’s reason together,” says Yahweh: “Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Yahweh stands up to contend, and stands to judge the peoples.

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and marked off the sky with his span, and calculated the dust of the earth in a measuring basket, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?

As when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the water to boil; Make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence!

A noise will come even to the end of the earth; for Yahweh has a controversy with the nations. He will enter into judgment with all flesh. As for the wicked, he will give them to the sword,” ’ says Yahweh.”

They were greatly afraid, and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”

“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed, and were created!”

Who wouldn’t fear you, Lord, and glorify your name? For you only are holy. For all the nations will come and worship before you. For your righteous acts have been revealed.”

It shall be that when the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of Yahweh, the Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan will be cut off. The waters that come down from above shall stand in one heap.”

Then the channels of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare by Yahweh’s rebuke, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

Its measure is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.

Does the rain have a father? Or who fathers the drops of dew?

For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.

Yahweh reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim. Let the earth be moved.

then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

to him who spread out the earth above the waters; for his loving kindness endures forever:

One generation goes, and another generation comes; but the earth remains forever.

Why, when I came, was there no one? When I called, why was there no one 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 of thirst.

Hear Yahweh’s word, you who tremble at his word: “Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name’s sake, have said, ‘Let Yahweh be glorified, that we may see your joy;’ but it is those who shall be disappointed.

“Therefore I will yet contend with you,” says Yahweh, “and I will contend with your children’s children.

Again he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, ‘You dry bones, hear Yahweh’s word.

They will walk after Yahweh, who will roar like a lion; for he will roar, and the children will come trembling from the west.

Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of Yahweh comes, for it is close at hand:

It is he who builds his rooms in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth; Yahweh is his name.

He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan languishes, and Carmel; and the flower of Lebanon languishes.

Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

He awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”

He got into the boat with them; and the wind ceased, and they were very amazed among themselves, and marveled;

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up. Every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them.

Who determined its measures, if you know? Or who stretched the line on it?

and said, ‘You may come here, but no further. Your proud waves shall be stopped here?’

He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.

The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land.

He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever.

Don’t you fear me?’ says Yahweh ‘Won’t you tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it can’t pass it? Though its waves toss themselves, yet they can’t prevail. Though they roar, they still can’t pass over it.’

Hear, you mountains, Yahweh’s controversy, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for Yahweh has a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel.

He said to them, “Where is your faith?” Being afraid they marveled, saying to one another, “Who is this then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”

Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
