Genesis 1:11
Douay-Rheims
And he said: Let the earth bring forth the green herb, and such as may seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, which may have seed in itself upon the earth. And it was so done.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
The green herb, which propagates itself by the root, vegetables, shrubs, and trees of every kind, are not necessary productions of Nature. They shot forth from the earth in obedience to the Creative Power. The sacred writer is careful to mark, that natural causes are not of themselves endowed with any efficiency, but derive it from the will and decree of the Creator.
