Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
This is what God the LORD says, the one who created the heavens and stretched them out like a canopy; the one who spread out the earth and everything that grows from it; the one who gives breath to all the people on it, and life to everyone who walks on it:
God is identifying himself as the all-powerful Creator who made everything in the universe and gives life to every person on earth.
