- ISA 40:13-25
- Who hath directed
the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him?
With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught
him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed
to him the way of understanding? Behold, the nations are as a
drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance:
behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. And Lebanon
is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for
a burnt offering. All nations before him are as nothing; and they
are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity. To whom then
will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?
The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth
it over with gold, and casteth silver chains. He that is so impoverished
that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he
seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image,
that shall not be moved. Have ye not known? have ye not heard?
hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood
from the foundations of the earth? It is he that sitteth upon
the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers;
that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them
out as a tent to dwell in: That bringeth the princes to nothing;
he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity. Yea, they shall not
be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall
not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them,
and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away
as stubble. To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal?
saith the Holy One.
- ISA 43:10-12
- Ye are my witnesses,
saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may
know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there
was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I,
am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. I have declared,
and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god
among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that
I am God.
- ISA 44:6-8
- Thus saith the LORD
the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the
first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. And who,
as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for
me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that
are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them. Fear ye not,
neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have
declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me?
yea, there is no God; I know not any.
- ISA 45:5
- I am the LORD, and
there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee,
though thou hast not known me:
- ISA 46:9-10
- Remember the former
things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God,
and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning,
and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying,
My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
- JOB 38:1-41
- Then the LORD answered
Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Who is this that darkeneth
counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like
a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. Where
wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare,
if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof,
if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon
are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone
thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons
of God shouted for joy? Or who shut up the sea with doors, when
it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? When I made
the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband
for it, And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and
doors, And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further:
and here shall thy proud waves be stayed? Hast thou commanded
the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his
place; That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that
the wicked might be shaken out of it? It is turned as clay to
the seal; and they stand as a garment. And from the wicked their
light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken. Hast thou
entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in
the search of the depth? Have the gates of death been opened unto
thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death? Hast
thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou
knowest it all. Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as
for darkness, where is the place thereof, That thou shouldest
take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know
the paths to the house thereof? Knowest thou it, because thou
wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great? Hast
thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou
seen the treasures of the hail, Which I have reserved against
the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war? By what
way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the
earth? Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters,
or a way for the lightning of thunder; To cause it to rain on
the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is
no man; To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause
the bud of the tender herb to spring forth? Hath the rain a father?
or who hath begotten the drops of dew? Out of whose womb came
the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is
frozen. Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or
loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth
in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the
dominion thereof in the earth? Canst thou lift up thy voice
to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? Canst
thou send lightnings, that they may go and say unto thee, Here
we are? Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given
understanding to the heart? Who can number the clouds in wisdom?
or who can stay the bottles of heaven, When the dust groweth into
hardness, and the clods cleave fast together? Wilt thou hunt
the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,
When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie
in wait? Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young
ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.
- JOB 39:1-30
- Knowest thou
the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst
thou mark when the hinds do calve? Canst thou number the
months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they
bring forth? They bow themselves, they bring forth their young
ones, they cast out their sorrows. Their young ones are in good
liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not
unto them. Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed
the bands of the wild ass? Whose house I have made the wilderness,
and the barren land his dwellings. He scorneth the multitude of
the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver. The range
of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every
green thing. Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide
by thy crib? Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the
furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee? Wilt thou
trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave
thy labour to him? Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring
home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn? Gavest thou the
goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the
ostrich? Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them
in dust, And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that
the wild beast may break them. She is hardened against her young
ones, as though they were not her's: her labour is in vain without
fear; Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he
imparted to her understanding. What time she lifteth up herself
on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider. Hast thou given
the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his
nostrils is terrible. He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in
his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men. He mocketh at
fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the
sword. The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and
the shield. He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage:
neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet. He saith
among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off,
the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. Doth the hawk fly
by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south? Doth the
eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high? She
dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and
the strong place. From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes
behold afar off. Her young ones also suck up blood: and where
the slain are, there is she.
- JOB 40:1-24
- Moreover the LORD
answered Job, and said, Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty
instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it. Then Job
answered the LORD, and said, Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer
thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. Once have I spoken;
but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare
thou unto me. Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt
thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? Hast thou
an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself
with glory and beauty. Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and
behold every one that is proud, and abase him. Look on every one
that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in
their place. Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces
in secret. Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right
hand can save thee. Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee;
he eateth grass as an ox. Lo now, his strength is in his loins,
and his force is in the navel of his belly. He moveth his tail
like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His
bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of
iron. He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can
make his sword to approach unto him. Surely the mountains bring
him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. He lieth
under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. The
shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook
compass him about. Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth
not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. He
taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
- DEU 6:1-4
- Now these are the
commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD
your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the
land whither ye go to possess it: That thou mightest fear the
LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which
I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the
days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. Hear therefore,
O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee,
and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers
hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
- MAR 12:29-32
- And Jesus answered
him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The
Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said
the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
- 1CO 8:4-6
- As concerning therefore
the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto
idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that
there is none other God but one. For though there be that are
called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods
many, and lords many,) But to us there is but one God, the Father,
of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom are all things, and we by him.
- EPH 4:6
- One God and Father
of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
- 1TI 2:5
- For there is one
God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
- NEH 9:6
- Thou, even thou,
art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens,
with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein,
the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them
all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.
- JOB 26:13
- By his spirit he
hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
- PSA 124:8
- Our help is in the
name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
- PSA 146:6
- Which made heaven,
and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth
for ever:
- PSA 148:5
- Let them praise
the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.
- ISA 40:25-27
- To whom then will
ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. Lift up
your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that
bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names
by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power;
not one faileth. Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O
Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed
over from my God?
- JER 10:12-13
- He hath made the
earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom,
and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. When he
uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens,
and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth;
he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out
of his treasures.
- JER 27:5
- I have made the
earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great
power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom
it seemed meet unto me.
- JER 32:17-25
- Ah Lord GOD! behold,
thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power
and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:
Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest
the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after
them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name,
Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open
upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according
to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings: Which hast
set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day,
and in Israel, and among other men; and hast made thee a name,
as at this day; And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of
the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong
hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror; And
hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their
fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey; And
they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice,
neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that
thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused
all this evil to come upon them: Behold the mounts, they are come
unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand
of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword,
and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast
spoken is come to pass; and, thou seest it. And thou hast
said unto me, O Lord GOD, Buy thee the field for money, and take
witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
- JER 51:15
- He hath made the
earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom,
and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.
- ACT 14:15
- And saying, Sirs,
why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with
you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities
unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea,
and all things that are therein:
- ACT 17:24
- God that made the
world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven
and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
- 1CH 29:11-14
- Thine, O LORD is
the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory,
and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth
is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted
as head above all. Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou
reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in
thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.
Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious
name. But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able
to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of
thee, and of thine own have we given thee.
- PSA 62:11
- God hath spoken
once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
- PSA 145:3
- Great is the LORD,
and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
- ISA 26:4
- Trust ye in the
LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
- ISA 40:26
- Lift up your eyes
on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth
out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the
greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one
faileth.
- JOB 9:4
- He is wise in heart,
and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him,
and hath prospered?
- JOB 36:5

and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.

are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
- PSA 104:24
- O LORD, how manifold
are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth
is full of thy riches.
- PSA 147:4-5
- He telleth the number
of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. Great is our
Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
- ISA 28:29
- This also cometh
forth from the LORD of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and
excellent in working.
- ROM 16:27
- To God only wise,
be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
- 1TI 1:17
- Now unto the King
eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and
glory for ever and ever. Amen.
