He created it to be lived on.
“I am the Lord.
There is no other God.
19 I have spoken openly, not in secret.
I did not hide my words in a dark and secret place.
I did not tell the people of Jacob
to look for me in empty places.
I am the Lord, and I speak the truth.
I say only what is right.

18 For this is what the Lord says—
he who created the heavens,
he is God;
he who fashioned and made the earth,(A)

he did not create it to be empty,(B)
but formed it to be inhabited(C)—

“I am the Lord,
and there is no other.(D)
19 I have not spoken in secret,(E)
from somewhere in a land of darkness;(F)
