JOB IX, 8. Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon
the waves of the sea;
9. Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the
south;
10. Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders
without number.
JOB XXXVII, 14. Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider
the wondrous works of God.
15. Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his
cloud to shine?
16. Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of
him which is perfect in knowledge?
PSALM XL, 5. Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou
hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they can not be
reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them,
they are more than can be numbered.
GEN. I, 14. And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the
heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs,
and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15. And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give
light upon the earth: and it was so.
16. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day,
and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon
the earth.
18. And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the
light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
JER. XXXI, 35. Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light
by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by
night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of
hosts is his name.
(3.) _The Ease with which he is said to Create and Uphold all Things._
ISAIAH XL, 12. Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand,
and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the
earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills
in a balance?
13. Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being his counselor
hath taught him?
14. With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him
in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him
the way of understanding?
15. Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as
the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a
very little thing.
JOB XXXVIII, 8. Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake
forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
9. When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a
swaddling-band for it,
10. And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
11. And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall
thy proud waves be stayed?
JOB XXVIII, 24. For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth
under the whole heaven;
25. To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by
measure.
26. When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of
the thunder.
