"Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You.

When He utters His voice--There is a multitude of waters in the heavens:"He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth;He makes lightnings for the rain;He brings the wind out of His treasuries." Psalms 135:7 ">[fn]

Then the heavens and the earth and all that is in them Shall sing joyously over Babylon; For the plunderers shall come to her from the north," says the LORD.

In Your anger, Pursue and destroy them From under the heavens of the LORD.

Our pursuers were swifter Than the eagles of the heavens. They pursued us on the mountains And lay in wait for us in the wilderness.

Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the River Chebar, that the heavens were opened and I saw visions [fn] of God.

I will leave you in the wilderness,You and all the fish of your rivers;You shall fall on the open field;You shall not be picked up or gathered. [fn] I have given you as foodTo the beasts of the fieldAnd to the birds of the heavens.

All the birds of the heavens made their nests in its boughs; Under its branches all the beasts of the field brought forth their young; And in its shadow all great nations made their home.

"On its ruin will remain all the birds of the heavens, And all the beasts of the field will come to its branches--

Then I will leave you on the land; I will cast you out on the open fields, And cause to settle on you all the birds of the heavens. And with you I will fill the beasts of the whole earth.

When I put out your light, I will cover the heavens, and make its stars dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, And the moon shall not give her light.

All the bright lights of the heavens I will make dark over you, And bring darkness upon your land,' Says the Lord GOD.

so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence. The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.'

The tree grew and became strong; Its height reached to the heavens, And it could be seen to the ends of all the earth.

Its leaves were lovely, Its fruit abundant, And in it was food for all. The beasts of the field found shade under it, The birds of the heavens dwelt in its branches, And all flesh was fed from it.

"The tree that you saw, which grew and became strong, whose height reached to the heavens and which could be seen by all the earth,

it is you, O king, who have grown and become strong; for your greatness has grown and reaches to the heavens, and your dominion to the end of the earth.

"It shall come to pass in that day That I will answer," says the LORD; "I will answer the heavens, And they shall answer the earth.

The earth quakes before them, The heavens tremble; The sun and moon grow dark, And the stars diminish their brightness.

"And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke.
