²¹ Don’t you know? Don’t you hear?
Haven’t you been told from the start?
Don’t you understand how the earth is set up?

and the Word was God.
²     He was with God in the beginning.

³ All things came to be through him,
    and without him nothing made had being.

“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth;
heaven is the work of your hands.
