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.
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 vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
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 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.
