Every living thing on earth died flying creatures, livestock, wildlife, all creatures that swarm over the earth, and all human beings.

The bow will be in the clouds, and I will look at it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all the living creatures on earth.”

God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have confirmed between Me and every creature on earth.”

And Cush fathered Nimrod. {He was the first on earth to be a mighty warrior}.

Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in the heavens and on earth belongs to You. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom, and You are exalted as head over all.

You remove all the wicked on earthas if they were dross;therefore, I love Your decrees.

Four things on earth are small,yet they are extremely wise:

What does a man gain from all of the work that he undertakes on earth?

Whatever has happened, will happen again; whatever has been done, will be done again. There is nothing new on earth.
