2 Esdras 6:38-40
Revised Standard Version
God’s Work in Creation
38 I said, “O Lord, thou didst speak at the beginning of creation, and didst say on the first day, ‘Let heaven and earth be made,’ and thy word accomplished the work. 39 And then the Spirit was hovering, and darkness and silence embraced everything; the sound of man’s voice was not yet there.[a] 40 Then thou didst command that a ray of light be brought forth from thy treasuries, so that thy works might then appear.
