Job 38:4-7
4 “Where were you when I ilaid the foundation of the earth?Tell me, if you have understanding.
5Who determined its measurements—surely you know!
Or who stretched the line upon it?
6On what were its bases sunk,
or who laid its cornerstone,
7when the morning stars jsang together
and all kthe sons of God lshouted for joy?
Psalms 33:6
6 By mthe word of the Lord the heavens were made,and by nthe breath of his mouth all otheir host.
Psalms 136:5-6
5to him who pby understanding qmade the heavens,for his steadfast love endures forever;
6to him who rspread out the earth sabove the waters,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Jeremiah 32:17
17‘Ah, Lord God! It is tyou who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by uyour outstretched arm! vNothing is too hard for you.Jeremiah 51:15-19
15 w“It is he who made the earth by his power,who established the world by his wisdom,
and by his understanding stretched out the heavens.
16When he utters his voice there is a tumult of waters in the heavens,
and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning for the rain,
and he brings forth the wind from his storehouses.
17Every man is stupid and without knowledge;
every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,
for his images are false,
and there is no breath in them.
18They are worthless, a work of delusion;
at the time of their punishment they shall perish.
19Not like these is he who is the portion of Jacob,
for he is the one who formed all things,
and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;
the Lord of hosts is his name.
