Colossians 1:15-20 CEV

15Christ is exactly like God, who cannot be seen. He is the first-born Son, superior to all creation.
16Everything was created by him, everything in heaven and on earth, everything seen and unseen, including all forces and powers, and all rulers and authorities. All things were created by God's Son, and everything was made for him.
17God's Son was before all else, and by him everything is held together.
18He is the head of his body, which is the church. He is the very beginning, the first to be raised from death, so that he would be above all others.
19God himself was pleased to live fully in his Son.
20And God was pleased for him to make peace by sacrificing his blood on the cross, so that all beings in heaven and on earth would be brought back to God.

Jeremiah 10:12-13 (Contemporary English Version)

12With your wisdom and power you created the earth and spread out the heavens.

13The waters in the heavens roar at your command. You make clouds appear-- you send the winds from your storehouse and make lightning flash in the rain.
