He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him {were} dark waters {and} thick clouds of the skies.

Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:

Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?

He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.

Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.

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.

He holdeth back the face of his throne, {and} spreadeth his cloud upon it.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness {which} may be felt. {even...: Heb. that one may feel darkness}

Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud: {his...: Heb. the cloud of his light}

Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we {are}? {Here...: Heb. Behold us?}

When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:

And now {men} see not the bright light which {is} in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
