Bible verses about "beauty of the earth" | CAB

¹ Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and the whole host of them. ² And God finished on the sixth day His works which He made, and He ceased on the seventh day from all His works which He made. ³ And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He ceased from all His works which God began to do. ⁴ This is the book of the generations of heaven and earth, when they were made, in the day in which the Lord God made the heaven and the earth, ⁵ and every herb of the field before it was on the earth, and all the grass of the field before it sprang up, for God had not rained on the earth, and there was not a man to cultivate it. ⁶ But there rose a fountain out of the earth, and watered the whole face of the earth. ⁷ And God formed the man of the dust of the earth, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul. ⁸ And God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and placed there the man whom He had formed. ⁹ And God made to spring up also out of the earth every tree beautiful to the eye and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. ¹⁰ And a river proceeded out of Eden to water the garden, and it divided itself there into four heads. ¹¹ The name of the one is Pishon, this it is which encircles the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. ¹² And the gold of that land is good, there also is carbuncle and emerald. ¹³ And the name of the second river is Gihon, this it is which encircles the whole land of Ethiopia. ¹⁴ And the third river is Tigris, this is that which flows forth over against the Assyrians. And the fourth river is Euphrates. ¹⁵ And the Lord God took the man whom He had formed, and placed him in the garden of Delight, to cultivate and keep it. ¹⁶ And the Lord God gave a charge to Adam, saying, Of every tree which is in the garden you may freely eat, ¹⁷ but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil — of it you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it, you shall surely die. ¹⁸ And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone, let Us make for him a helper suitable to him. ¹⁹ And God formed yet farther out of the earth all the wild beasts of the field, and all the birds of the sky, and He brought them to Adam, to see what he would call them, and whatever Adam called any living creature, that was the name of it. ²⁰ And Adam gave names to all the cattle and to all the birds of the sky, and to all the wild beasts of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to himself. ²¹ And God brought a trance upon Adam, and he slept, and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. ²² And God formed the rib which he took from Adam into a woman, and brought her to Adam. ²³ And Adam said, This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of her husband. ²⁴ Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. ^{25 (3:1)} And the two were naked, both Adam and his wife, and were not ashamed

²⁶ And God said, Let Us make man according to Our image and likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of heaven, and over the cattle and all the earth, and over all the reptiles that creep on the earth. ²⁷ And God made man, according to the image of God He made him, male and female He made them. ²⁸ And God blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the seas and flying creatures of heaven, and all the cattle and all the earth, and all the reptiles that creep on the earth.

¹ In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth. ² But the earth was unsightly and unfurnished, and darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God moved over the water. ³ And God said, Let there be light, and there was light. ⁴ And God saw the light that it was good, and God divided between the light and the darkness. ⁵ And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night, and there was evening and there was morning, the first day. ⁶ And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the water, and let it be a division between water and water, and it was so. ⁷ And God made the firmament, and God divided between the water which was under the firmament and the water which was above the firmament. ⁸ And God called the firmament Heaven, and God saw that it was good, and there was evening and there was morning, the second day. ⁹ And God said, Let the water which is under the heaven be collected into one place, and let the dry land appear, and it was so. And the water which was under the heaven was collected into its places, and the dry land appeared. ¹⁰ And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering of the waters He called Seas; and God saw that it was good. ¹¹ And God said, Let the earth bring forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and it was so. ¹² And the earth brought forth the herb of grass-bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth; and God saw that it was good. ¹³ And there was evening and there was morning, the third day. ¹⁴ And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, to divide between day and night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and for years. ¹⁵ And let them be for light in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth, and it was so. ¹⁶ And God made two great lights, the greater light for regulating the day, and the lesser light for regulating the night; the stars also. ¹⁷ And God placed them in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth, ¹⁸ and to regulate day and night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good. ¹⁹ And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day. ²⁰ And God said, Let the waters bring forth reptiles having life, and winged creatures flying above the earth in the firmament of heaven, and it was so. ²¹ And God made great whales, and every living reptile, which the waters brought forth according to their kinds, and every creature that flies with wings according to its kind; and God saw that they were good. ²² And God blessed them saying, Increase and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let the creatures that fly be multiplied on the earth. ²³ And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day. ²⁴ And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind, cattle and reptiles and wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and it was so. ²⁵ And God made the wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and cattle according to their kind, and all the reptiles of the earth according to their kind, and God saw that they were good. ²⁶ And God said, Let Us make man according to Our image and likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of heaven, and over the cattle and all the earth, and over all the reptiles that creep on the earth. ²⁷ And God made man, according to the image of God He made him, male and female He made them. ²⁸ And God blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the seas and flying creatures of heaven, and all the cattle and all the earth, and all the reptiles that creep on the earth. ²⁹ And God said, Behold, I have given to you every seed-bearing herb sowing seed which is upon all the earth, and every tree which has in itself the fruit of seed that is sown, to you it shall be for food. ³⁰ And to all the wild beasts of the earth, and to all the flying creatures of heaven, and to every reptile creeping on the earth, which has in itself the breath of life, even every green plant for food; and it was so. ³¹ And God saw all the things that He had made, and behold, they were very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day

¹ A Psalm of David on the first day of the week. The earth is the Lord's and all its fullness; the world, and all that dwell in it.

¹⁴ I will give You thanks; for You are fearfully wondrous; wondrous are Your works; and my soul knows it well.

⁹ But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

¹ In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth.

² In a place of green grass, there He has made me dwell; He has nourished me by the water of rest. ³ He has restored my soul; He has guided me into the paths of righteousness, for His name's sake.

⁷ But ask now the beasts, if they may speak to you, and the birds of the air, if they may declare to you. ⁸ Tell the earth, if it may speak to you, and the fish of the sea shall explain to you. ⁹ Who then has not known in all these things, that the hand of the Lord has made them?

²⁶ Lift up your eyes on high, and see, who has displayed all these things? Even He that brings forth His host by number; He shall call them all by name by means of His great glory, and by the power of His might; nothing has escaped you.

¹⁷ For there shall be a new heaven and a new earth; and they shall not at all remember the former, neither shall they at all come into their mind.

² Out of Zion comes the excellence of His beauty.

¹¹ All the things which He has made are beautiful in His time. He has also set the whole world in their heart, that man might not find out the work which God has done from the beginning, even to the end.

²⁰ For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things made, both His eternal power and Divinity, so that they are without excuse.

⁵ He loves mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.

¹ A Psalm of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, You are very great; You have clothed Yourself with praise and honor; ² who cover Yourself with light as with a garment; spreading out the heaven as a curtain. ³ Who covers His chambers with waters; who makes the clouds His chariot; who walks on the wings of the wind. ⁴ Who makes His angels spirits, and His ministers a flaming fire. ⁵ Who establishes the earth on her sure foundation; it shall not ever be moved. ⁶ The deep, like a garment, is His covering; the waters shall stand on the hills. ⁷ At Your rebuke they shall flee; at the voice of Your thunder they shall be alarmed. ⁸ They go up to the mountains, and down to the plains, to the place which You founded for them. ⁹ You have set a boundary which they shall not pass, neither shall they turn again to cover the earth. ¹⁰ He sends forth His fountains among the valleys; the waters shall run between the mountains. ¹¹ They shall give drink to all the wild beasts of the field; the wild donkeys shall take of them to quench their thirst. ¹² By them shall the birds of the sky lodge; they shall utter a voice out of the midst of the rocks. ¹³ He waters the mountains from His chambers; the earth shall be satisfied with the fruit of Your works. ¹⁴ He makes grass to grow for the cattle, and green herbs for the service of men, to bring bread out of the earth; ¹⁵ and wine makes glad the heart of man, to make his face cheerful with oil; and bread strengthens man's heart. ¹⁶ The trees of the plain shall be full of sap; even the cedars of Lebanon which He has planted. ¹⁷ There the sparrows shall build their nests; and the house of the heron takes the lead among them. ¹⁸ The high mountains are a refuge for the goats, and the rock for the rabbits. ¹⁹ He appointed the moon for seasons; the sun knows its going down. ²⁰ You made the darkness, and it was night; in it all the wild beasts of the forest will be abroad; ²¹ even the young lions roar after their prey, and they seek meat for themselves from God. ²² The sun arises, and they shall be gathered together, and shall lie down in their dens. ²³ Man shall go forth to his work, and to his labor till evening. ²⁴ How great are Your works, O Lord! In wisdom have You done them all; the earth is filled with Your creation. ²⁵ So is this great and wide sea; there are things creeping innumerable, small animals and great. ²⁶ There go the ships; and this dragon whom You have made to play in it. ²⁷ All wait upon You, to give them their food in due season. ²⁸ When You have given it to them, they will gather it; and when You have opened Your hand, they shall all be filled with good. ²⁹ But when You have turned away Your face, they shall be troubled; You will take away their breath, and they shall fail, and return to their dust. ³⁰ You shall send forth Your Spirit, and they shall be created; and You shall renew the face of the earth. ³¹ Let the glory of the Lord be forever; the Lord shall rejoice in His works; ³² who looks upon the earth, and makes it tremble; who touches the mountains, and they smoke. ³³ I will sing to the Lord while I live; I will sing praise to my God while I exist. ³⁴ Let my meditation be sweet to Him, and I will rejoice in the Lord. ³⁵ Let the sinners fail from off the earth, and transgressors, so that they shall be no more. Bless the Lord, O my soul.

³¹ And God saw all the things that He had made, and behold, they were very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day

³ All things came to be through Him, and without Him nothing came to be which has come to be.

¹ For the end, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims the work of His hands.
