⁸ Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

⁸ Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word:

⁷ 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.

¹¹ He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

¹⁵ Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?

⁹ He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.

²¹ 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.

²³ They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
