In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
Isaiah 17:11 KJV
New International Version
though on the day you set them out, you make them grow,
and on the morning when you plant them, you bring them to bud,
yet the harvest will be as nothing
in the day of disease and incurable pain.
Isaiah 17:11 NIV
- Book of Genesis (Wikipedia)
The Book of Genesis (from Greek Γένεσις, Génesis, ‘Origin’; Biblical Hebrew: בְּרֵאשִׁית, romanized: Bərēʾšīṯ, lit. ‘In Beginning’; Latin: Liber Genesis) is the first book of the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament. The Hebrew name bereshit (‘in the beginning’) is taken directly from the first word. The primary narrative of Genesis includes a legendary account of the creation of the world, the early history of the human race, and the origins of the Jewish people. In Judaism, the theological importance of Genesis centers on the covenants linking God to his chosen people and the people to the Promised Land.
