5 "'I'm the one who made the earth, man and woman, and all the animals in the world. I did it on my own without asking anyone's help and I hand it out to whomever I will.
5 With my great power and outstretched arm I made the earth and its people and the animals that are on it, and I give it to anyone I please.
