By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the host of them by the breath of His [mouth].

And the barriers of heaven fear Him, and by a command He has slain the apostate dragon.

The Divine Spirit is that which formed me, and the breath of the Almighty [is] that which teaches me.

[As for] the rich city, the houses are deserted; they shall abandon the wealth of the city, [and] the pleasant houses; and the villages shall be caves forever, the joy of wild donkeys, shepherds' pastures;

until the Spirit shall come upon you from on high, and Carmel shall be desert, and Carmel shall be counted for a forest.

And He said to me, Prophesy to the wind; prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus says the Lord: Come from the four winds, [O breath,] and breathe upon these dead, that they may live.

And you [He made alive], being dead in transgressions and sins,

But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

even when we were dead in transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

not by works of righteousness which we did, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

For there shall be a new heaven and a new earth; and they shall not at all remember the former, neither shall they at all come into their mind.

For as the new heaven and the new earth, which I make, remain before Me, says the Lord, so shall your seed and your name continue.

Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are faithful and true."
