“Then (A)the earth shook and trembled;
(B)The foundations of [a]heaven quaked and were shaken,
Because He was angry.
Smoke went up from His nostrils,
And devouring (C)fire from His mouth;
Coals were kindled by it.
10 He (D)bowed the heavens also, and came down
With (E)darkness under His feet.
11 He rode upon a cherub, and flew;
And He [b]was seen (F)upon the wings of the wind.
12 He made (G)darkness canopies around Him,
Dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
13 From the brightness before Him
Coals of fire were kindled.

14 “The Lord (H)thundered from heaven,
And the Most High uttered His voice.
15 He sent out (I)arrows and scattered them;
Lightning bolts, and He vanquished them.
16 Then the channels of the sea (J)were seen,
The foundations of the world were uncovered,
At the (K)rebuke of the Lord,
At the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
