⁵ This is what God the Lord says—
the Creator of the heavens,^(A) who stretches them out,
    who spreads out the earth^(B) with all that springs from it,^(C)
    who gives breath^(D) to its people,
    and life to those who walk on it:

“From the first announcement I have not spoken in secret;^(C)
    at the time it happens, I am there.”

And now the Sovereign Lord^(D) has sent^(E) me,
    endowed with his Spirit.^(F)
