Isaiah 40:22 Isaiah 40:22 (page 503)

“He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,

and spreads them out like a tent to live in.”

Job 26:7 Job 26:7 (page 366)(page 366)

”He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; He suspends the earth over

nothing.”

the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years...’”

“Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these?

He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name.

Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.”

Job 38:4-7 Job 38:4-7 (page 373)(page 373)

"Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand.

Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line

across it? On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone—while the

morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?”

Romans 1:20 Romans 1:20 (page781)(page781)

“For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and

divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been

made, so that men are without excuse.”

This is what the LORD says, He who appoints the sun to shine by day,

Who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—the

LORD Almighty is His name: "Only if these decrees vanish from My sight,“ declares the LORD, "will the

descendants of Israel ever cease to be a nation before Me."
