With clouds he covers the light; and commands it not to shine by the cloud that comes between.
He holds back the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud upon it.
Also with moisture he loads the thick cloud: he scatters his bright cloud:
And it is turned around by his guidance: that they may do whatsoever he commands them upon the face of the whole earth.
Do you know when God dispatched them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
Can you send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto you, Here we are?
He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain; he brings the wind out of his treasuries.
Fire, and hail; snow, and vapors; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
He made darkness his secret place; his canopy round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
Then the channels of the sea were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
