Can any one understand the spreading of the clouds, the thunderings of his pavilion?
Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens,
He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain and brings forth the wind from his storehouses.
He covers the heavens with clouds, he prepares rain for the earth, he makes grass grow upon the hills.
Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name? Surely you know!
when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep,
I will make it a waste; it shall not be pruned or hoed, and briers and thorns shall grow up; I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
When he utters his voice there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings for the rain, and he brings forth the wind from his storehouses.
