Bible Verses About Early Rising

God said, “Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to divide the day from the night; let them be for signs, seasons, days and years;

and let them be for lights in the dome of the sky to give light to the earth”; and that is how it was.

God made the two great lights — the larger light to rule the day and the smaller light to rule the night — and the stars.

The flood was forty days on the earth; the water grew higher and floated the ark, so that it was lifted up off the earth.

The water overflowed the earth and grew deeper, until the ark floated on the surface of the water.

The water overpowered the earth mightily; all the high mountains under the entire sky were covered;

the water covered the mountains by more than twenty-two-and-a-half feet.

All living beings that moved on the earth perished — birds, livestock, other animals, insects, and every human being,

everything in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life; whatever was on dry land died.

He wiped out every living thing on the surface of the ground — not only human beings, but livestock, creeping animals and birds in the air. They were wiped out from the earth; only Noach was left, along with those who were with him in the ark.

The water held power over the earth for 150 days.

iron is extracted from the earth, and copper is smelted from ore.

Miners conquer the darkness and dig as far in as they can, to the ore in gloom and deep darkness.

There where no one lives, they break open a shaft; the feet passing over are oblivious to them; far from people, suspended in space, they swing to and fro.

"While the earth is [peacefully] yielding bread, underneath, it is being convulsed as if by fire;

It can't be obtained with gold, nor can silver be weighed out to buy it.

It can't be purchased with choice gold from Ofir, or with precious onyx or sapphires.

Neither gold nor glass can be compared with it; nor can it be exchanged for a bowl of fine gold,

let alone coral or crystal; for indeed, the price of wisdom is above that of pearls.

It can't be compared with Ethiopian topaz, and it can't be valued with pure gold.

Lazybones! How long will you lie there in bed? When will you get up from your sleep?

"I'll just lie here a bit, rest a little longer, just fold my hands for a little more sleep"-

and poverty comes marching in on you, scarcity hits you like an invading soldier.

The first man is from the earth, made of dust; the second man is from heaven.
