Thou makest darkness, and it is night, when all the beasts of the forest creep forth.
I form light and create darkness, I make weal and create woe, I am the Lord, who do all these things.
Thine is the day, thine also the night; thou hast established the luminaries and the sun.
Thus says the Lord: “For three transgressions of the Ammonites, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because they have ripped up women with child in Gilead, that they might enlarge their border.
For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills.
While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.”
