18 For this is what Jehovah has said, the Creator of the heavens,+ He the [true] God,+ the Former of the earth and the Maker of it,+ He the One who firmly established it,+ who did not create it simply for nothing, who formed it even to be inhabited:+ “I am Jehovah, and there is no one else.+

9 At that he said to them: “I am a Hebrew,+ and Jehovah the God of the heavens+ I am fearing,+ the One who made the sea and the dry land.”+

11 “You are worthy, Jehovah,* even our God, to receive the glory+ and the honor+ and the power,+ because you created all things,+ and because of your will+ they existed and were created.”+
