Bible on Nature

And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.

They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.

The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.

And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.

Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD’s glory.

Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.

And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
