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.

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 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.

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.

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, and it was formless and empty. I looked to the heavens, and their light was gone.

When you send your breath, they are created, and you renew the surface of the ground.

For this is what the LORD says— the Creator of the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, the one who established it( he did not create it to be a wasteland, but formed it to be inhabited)— he says,“ I am the LORD, and there is no other.

The heavens were made by the word of the LORD, and all the stars, by the breath of his mouth.

He stretches the northern skies over empty space; he hangs the earth on nothing.

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand or marked off the heavens with the span of his hand? Who has gathered the dust of the earth in a measure or weighed the mountains on a balance and the hills on the scales?Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, or who gave him counsel?Who did he consult? Who gave him understanding and taught him the paths of justice? Who taught him knowledge and showed him the way of understanding?

These are but the fringes of his ways; how faint is the word we hear of him! Who can understand his mighty thunder?

Desolation, decimation, devastation! Hearts melt, knees tremble, insides churn, every face grows pale!
