24 This is what Jehovah has said, your Repurchaser+ and the Former of you from the belly:* “I, Jehovah, am doing everything, stretching out the heavens+ by myself, laying out the earth.+ Who was with me?
17 “Alas, O Sovereign Lord Jehovah!+ Here you yourself have made the heavens and the earth by your great power+ and by your outstretched arm.+ The whole matter is not too wonderful for you yourself,+
“The word of Jehovah concerning Israel,” is the utterance of Jehovah, the One who is stretching out [the] heavens+ and laying the foundation of [the] earth+ and forming the spirit+ of man* inside him.
