And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Restoration of Creation

This verse describes a new relationship between humans and animals characterized by fear and human dominion, which is a departure from the pre-Fall state of harmony, not a restoration of it. The theme of "Restoration of Creation" implies a return to peace and the reversal of the curse, neither of which are explicitly present in this verse's description of fear and delivery into human hands.
