²⁴ "The God who made the world and everything in it, this Master of sky and land, doesn't live in custom-made shrines ²⁵ or need the human race to run errands for him, as if he couldn't take care of himself. He makes the creatures; the creatures don't make him. ²⁶ Starting from scratch, he made the entire human race and made the earth hospitable, with plenty of time and space for living ²⁷ so we could seek after God, and not just grope around in the dark but actually find him. He doesn't play hide-and-seek with us. He's not remote; he's near. ²⁸ We live and move in him, can't get away from him! One of your poets said it well: 'We're the God-created.'
