You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl.
While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.*
For every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills.
The day is yours, the night is also yours. You have prepared the light and the sun.
I form the light, and create darkness; I make shalom, and create evil. I am the LORD, who does all these things.
Thus says the LORD: *For three transgressions of the children of `Ammon, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have ripped open the pregnant women of Gil`ad, that they may enlarge their border.
