Dieu fait succéder tour à tour le jour et la nuit. Il y a certes dans ceci un exemple frappant pour les hommes doués d’intelligence. Il a créé d’eau tous les animaux. Les uns marchent sur leur ventre, d’autres sur deux pieds, d’autres marchent sur quatre. Dieu crée ce qu’il veut, car il est tout-puissant.

God doet den nacht op den dag volgen; waarlijk, hierin is eene onderrichting voor hen die verstand bezitten. En God heeft ieder dier van water geschapen; het eene kruipt op den buik, terwijl een ander op twee voeten en een ander weder op vier voeten gaat. God schept naar zijn welbehagen; want God is almachtig.

Dio fa succedere regolarmente il giorno, e la notte. Vi è certamente in ciò un esempio che colpisce gli uomini dotati d’intelligenza. Ha creato tutti gli animali, gli uni camminano col loro corpo, gli altri su due piedi, gli altri su quattro. Dio crea ciò che vuole, poich’è onnipotente.
