²⁵ Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

²³ I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

²¹ Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?

⁴ Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, the first, and with the last; I am he.

²⁶ Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words.

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

² The same was in the beginning with God.
