And God said, Let the earth bring forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and it was so.

And the earth brought forth the herb of grass-bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth; and God saw that it was good.

This is the book of the generations of heaven and earth, when they were made, in the day in which the Lord God made the heaven and the earth,

and every herb of the field before it was on the earth, and all the grass of the field before it sprang up, for God had not rained on the earth, and there was not a man to cultivate it.

And God made to spring up also out of the earth every tree beautiful to the eye and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

And now you [are] cursed from the earth which has opened her mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.

When you till the earth, then it shall not continue to give its strength to you: you shall be groaning and trembling on the earth.

And as the earth putting forth her flowers, and as a garden its seed; so shall the Lord, [even] the Lord, cause righteousness to spring forth, and exaltation before all nations.

It is like a mustard seed, which whenever it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on the earth;

but whenever it is sown, it comes up and becomes greater than all the garden vegetables, and produces great branches, so that the birds of heaven are able to nest under its shade."

And he shall be as a tree planted by the brooks of waters, which shall yield its fruit in its season, and its leaf shall not fall off; and whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.

They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.

Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare

But the ways of the righteous shine like light; they go forth and shine, until the day has fully come.

To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven.

All the things which He has made are beautiful in His time. He has also set the whole world in their heart, that man might not find out the work which God has done from the beginning, even to the end.

Let us follow on to know the Lord: we shall find Him ready as the morning, and He will come to us as the early and latter rain to the earth.

having been persuaded of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus;

And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all perception,

having been filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

that you should walk worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit and increasing in the full knowledge of God;

And may the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all [men], as indeed we also do toward you,

so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.

But when the stalk had sprouted and produced fruit, then the tares also appeared.
