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.

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.

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, and it was empty and formless. I looked at the heavens, and there was no light.

When you give them your breath, life is created, and you renew the face of the earth.

For the Lord is God, and he created the heavens and earth and put everything in place. He made the world to be lived in, not to be a place of empty chaos.“ I am the Lord,” he says,“ and there is no other.

The Lord merely spoke, and the heavens were created. He breathed the word, and all the stars were born.

God stretches the northern sky over empty space and hangs the earth on nothing.

Who else has held the oceans in his hand? Who has measured off the heavens with his fingers? Who else knows the weight of the earth or has weighed the mountains and hills on a scale?Who is able to advise the Spirit of the Lord? Who knows enough to give him advice or teach him?Has the Lord ever needed anyone’s advice? Does he need instruction about what is good? Did someone teach him what is right or show him the path of justice?

These are just the beginning of all that he does, merely a whisper of his power. Who, then, can comprehend the thunder of his power?”

Soon the city is plundered, empty, and ruined. Hearts melt and knees shake. The people stand aghast, their faces pale and trembling.
