satyr shall cry to his fellow; the
screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.

creatures will meet with
hyenas, and one wild goat will call to another. There the night
creature will settle and find her place of
repose.

thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places
whither thou goest.

yourself? Stop seeking! For I will bring

hyenas will live there and ostriches will dwell there. It will never again be inhabited or lived in from generation to generation.
Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.
and within it was the form of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: They had a human form,
And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. All four living creatures had faces and wings,
Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
Such were their faces. Their wings were spread upward; each had two wings touching the wings of the creature on either side, and two wings covering its body.
And they went every one straight forward:
whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went.
Each
creature went straight
ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they moved.
As for the likeness of the living
creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living
creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth
lightning.
In the midst of the living
creatures was the appearance of
glowing coals of fire, or of torches. Fire moved back and forth between the living
creatures; it was bright, and
lightning flashed out of it.
And the living
creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a
flash of
lightning.
Now as I
beheld the living
creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living
creatures, with his four faces.
When I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces.
And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
So as the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them, and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose.
Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living
creature was in the wheels.
Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise
alongside them, because the spirit of the living
creatures was in the wheels.
When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
When the
creatures moved, the wheels moved; when the
creatures stood still, the wheels stood still; and when the
creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose
alongside them, because the spirit of the living
creatures was in the wheels.
And the likeness of the
firmament upon the heads of the living
creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.
Spread out above the heads of the living
creatures was the likeness of an
awesome expanse,
gleaming like crystal.
And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the
Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings.
When the
creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings like the
roar of many waters, like the voice of the
Almighty, like the
tumult of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings.
I heard also the noise of the wings of the living
creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise of a great
rushing.
It was the sound of the wings of the living
creatures brushing against one another and the sound of the wheels beside them, a great
rumbling sound.
So I went in and saw; and behold every form of
creeping things, and
abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about.
So I went in and looked, and engraved all around the wall was every kind of
crawling creature and
detestable beast, along with all the idols of the house of Israel.
And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living
creature that I saw by the river of
Chebar.
Then the
cherubim rose upward. These were the living
creatures I had seen by the River Kebar.
When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
When the
cherubim stood still, the wheels also stood still, and when they ascended, the wheels ascended with them, for the spirit of the living
creatures was in the wheels.
This is the living
creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of
Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.
These were the living
creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the River Kebar, and I knew that they were
cherubim.
And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of
Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
Their faces looked like the faces I had seen by the River Kebar. Each
creature went straight
ahead.
So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all
creeping things that
creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall
shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
The fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts of the field, every
creature that crawls upon the ground, and all mankind on the face of the earth will
tremble at My presence. The mountains will be thrown down, the cliffs will
collapse, and every wall will fall to the ground.
And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth,
whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be
healed; and every thing shall live
whither the river cometh.
Wherever the river flows, there will be swarms of living
creatures and a great number of fish, because it flows there and makes the waters fresh; so wherever the river flows, everything will
flourish.
The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it.
Its leaves were beautiful, its fruit was abundant, and upon it was food for all. Under it the beasts of the field found shelter, in its branches the birds of the air nested, and from it every creature was fed.
And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the
creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
On that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the
creatures that
crawl on the ground. And I will
abolish bow and sword and weapons of war in the land, and will make them lie down in safety.
And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the
cormorant and the
bittern shall
lodge in the upper lintels of it; their voice shall sing in the windows;
desolation shall be in the thresholds: for he shall uncover the
cedar work.
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every
creature.
And He said to them, “Go into all the world and
preach the gospel to every
creature.
And when the barbarians saw the
venomous beast
hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet
vengeance suffereth not to live.
When the islanders saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “Surely this man is a murderer. Although he was saved from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.”
And he
shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no
harm.
But Paul
shook the
creature off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the
creature more than the
Creator, who is blessed for ever.
Amen.
They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the
creature rather than the
Creator, who is
forever worthy of praise!
Amen.
For the earnest expectation of the
creature waiteth for the
manifestation of the sons of God.
The creation waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons of God.
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
For the creation was subjected to
futility, not by its own will, but because of the One who subjected it, in hope
Because the
creature itself also shall be delivered from the
bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
that the creation itself will be set free from its
bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Therefore if
anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!
Who is the image of the invisible God, the
firstborn of every
creature:
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the
firstborn over all creation.
If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every
creature which is under heaven;
whereof I Paul am made a minister;
if indeed you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope of the gospel you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
For every
creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with
thanksgiving:
For every creation of God is good, and nothing that is received with
thanksgiving should be rejected,
Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
Of his own will
begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his
creatures.
He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of His creation.
For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is
tamed, and hath been
tamed of mankind:
All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and
creatures of the sea are being
tamed and have been
tamed by man,
But these, as natural
brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
These men are like
irrational animals,
creatures of
instinct, born to be captured and destroyed. They
blaspheme in matters they do not understand, and like such
creatures, they too will be destroyed.
