Sivu 45 - And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
Sivu 161 - God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged ; the fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained ; and the waters returned from off the earth continually : and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

Sivu 168 - Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the corner-stone thereof, when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Sivu 169 - Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days ; and caused the day-spring to know his place, that it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? It is turned as clay to the seal ; and they stand as a garment.

Sivu 124 - The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; Even the waters forgotten of the foot; They are dried up, they are gone away from men.
Sivu 168 - Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
Sivu 161 - While the earth remaineth, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.
