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.

地是空虚混沌，渊面黑暗；神的灵运行在水面上。

地是空虚混沌，深渊上面一片黑暗；上帝的灵运行在水面上。

地是空虚混沌，深渊上面一片黑暗；神的灵运行在水面上。

那时，大地空虚混沌，还没有成形，黑暗笼罩着深渊，上帝的灵运行在水面上。

地是空虚混沌；深渊上一片黑暗；神的灵运行在水面上。

那时大地空虚混沌，黑暗在渊面上，神的灵运行在水面上。

地是空虛混沌，淵面黑暗；神的靈運行在水面上。

地是空虛混沌，深淵上面一片黑暗；上帝的靈運行在水面上。

地是空虛混沌，深淵上面一片黑暗；神的靈運行在水面上。

那時，大地空虛混沌，還沒有成形，黑暗籠罩著深淵，上帝的靈運行在水面上。

地是空虛混沌；深淵上一片黑暗；神的靈運行在水面上。

地還沒有定形、混混沌沌；黑暗在深淵上面；上帝的靈覆煦在水面上。

那時大地空虛混沌，黑暗在淵面上，神的靈運行在水面上。

地乃虛曠混沌、淵際晦冥、上帝之神煦育乎水面、

地乃虛曠、淵際晦冥、上帝之神、煦育乎水面。

地乃空曠混沌、淵面晦冥、天主之神、運行於水面、

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 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.

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

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

And the earth was a formless and desolate emptiness, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.

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

And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

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

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness[ was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Now the earth was without shape and empty, and darkness was over the surface of the watery deep, but the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the water.

The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and God’s Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.

I looked at the earth. It didn’t have any shape. And it was empty. I looked at the sky. Its light was gone.

When you send your Spirit, you create them. You give new life to the ground.

The Lord created the heavens. He is God. He formed the earth and made it. He set it firmly in place. He didn’t create it to be empty. Instead, he formed it for people to live on. He says,“ I am the Lord. There is no other Lord.

The heavens were made when the Lord commanded it to happen. All the stars were created by the breath of his mouth.

He spreads out the northern skies over empty space. He hangs the earth over nothing.

Who has measured the oceans by using the palm of his hand? Who has used the width of his hand to mark off the sky? Who has measured out the dust of the earth in a basket? Who has weighed the mountains on scales? Who has weighed the hills in a balance?Who can ever understand the Spirit of the Lord? Who can ever give him advice?Did the Lord have to ask anyone to help him understand? Did he have to ask someone to teach him the right way? Who taught him what he knows? Who showed him how to understand?

Those are only on the edges of what he does. They are only the soft whispers that we hear from him. So who can understand how very powerful he is?”

Nineveh is destroyed, robbed and stripped! Hearts melt away in fear. Knees give way. Bodies tremble with fear. Everyone’s face turns pale.
