Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

The earth didn’t have any shape. And it was empty. There was darkness over the surface of the waves. At that time, the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

先知說：我觀看地，不料，地是空虛混沌；我觀看天，天也無光。

你發出你的靈，牠們便受造；你使地面更換為新。

創造諸天的耶和華，製造成全大地的神，他創造堅定大地，並非使地荒涼，是要給人居住。他如此說：我是耶和華，再沒有別神。

諸天藉耶和華的命而造；萬象藉他口中的氣而成。

神將北極鋪在空中，將大地懸在虛空；

誰曾用手心量諸水，用手虎口量蒼天，用升斗盛大地的塵土，用秤稱山嶺，用天平平岡陵呢？誰曾測度耶和華的心，或作他的謀士指教他呢？他與誰商議，誰教導他，誰將公平的路指示他，又將知識教訓他，將通達的道指教他呢？

看哪，這不過是神工作的些微；我們所聽於他的是何等細微的聲音！他大能的雷聲誰能明透呢？

尼尼微現在空虛荒涼，人心消化，雙膝相碰，腰都疼痛，臉都變色。
