¹³ At the sound of his voice there is a massing of waters in the heavens, and he makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes the thunder-flames for the rain, and sends out the wind from his store-houses.

⁷ He makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes thunder-flames for the rain; he sends out the winds from his store-houses.

³⁴ Is your voice sent up to the cloud, so that you may be covered by the weight of waters?

³⁵ Do you send out the thunder-flames, so that they may go, and say to you, Here we are?

²² Have you come into the secret place of snow, or have you seen the store-houses of the ice-drops,

¹ Make your request to the Lord for rain in the time of the spring rains, even to the Lord who makes the thunder-flames; and he will give them showers of rain, to every man grass in the field.

⁸ By his hand the heaven is covered with clouds and rain is stored up for the earth; he makes the grass tall on the mountains.

¹⁷ They have ears, but no hearing; and there is no breath in their mouths.

³³ To him who goes or the clouds of heaven, the heaven which was from earliest times; he sends out his voice of power.

³ The voice of the Lord is on the waters: the God of glory is thundering, the Lord is on the great waters.

⁴ The voice of the Lord is full of power; the voice of the Lord has a noble sound.

⁵ By the voice of the Lord are the cedar-trees broken, even the cedars of Lebanon are broken by the Lord.

⁶ He makes them go jumping about like a young ox; Lebanon and Sirion like a young mountain ox.

⁷ At the voice of the Lord flames of fire are seen.

⁸ At the voice of the Lord there is a shaking in the waste land, even a shaking in the waste land of Kadesh.

⁹ At the voice of the Lord the roes give birth, the leaves are taken from the trees: in his Temple everything says, Glory.

¹⁰ The Lord had his seat as king when the waters came on the earth; the Lord is seated as king for ever.

¹³ The Lord made thunder in the heavens, and the voice of the Highest was sounding out: a rain of ice and fire.

²⁵ By whom has the way been cut for the flowing of the rain, and the flaming of the thunder;

²⁶ Causing rain to come on a land where no man is living, on the waste land which has no people;

²⁷ To give water to the land where there is waste and destruction, and to make the dry land green with young grass?

² Give ear to the rolling noise of his voice; to the hollow sound which goes out of his mouth.

³ He sends it out through all the heaven, and his thunder-flame to the ends of the earth.

⁴ After it a voice is sounding, thundering out the word of his power; he does not keep back his thunder-flames; from his mouth his voice is sounding.

⁵ He does wonders, more than may be searched out; great things of which we have no knowledge;

²⁷ For he takes up the drops from the sea; he sends them through his mist as rain,

²⁸ Flowing down from the sky, and dropping on the peoples.

²⁹ And who has knowledge of how the clouds are stretched out, or of the thunders of his tent?

³⁰ See, he is stretching out his mist, covering the tops of the mountains with it.

³¹ For by these he gives food to the peoples, and bread in full measure.

³² He takes the light in his hands, sending it against the mark.

³³ The thunder makes clear his passion, and the storm gives news of his wrath.

⁴⁵ And after a very little time, the heaven became black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab went in his carriage to Jezreel.

⁴⁶ And the hand of the Lord was on Elijah; and he made himself strong, and went running before Ahab till they came to Jezreel.

⁴¹ Then Elijah said to Ahab, Up! take food and drink, for there is a sound of much rain.

¹⁷ Is it not now the time of the grain cutting? My cry will go up to the Lord and he will send thunder and rain: so that you may see and be conscious of your great sin which you have done in the eyes of the Lord in desiring a king for yourselves.

¹⁸ So Samuel made prayer to the Lord; and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people were in fear of the Lord and of Samuel.

²³ And Moses put out his rod to heaven: and the Lord sent thunder, and an ice-storm, and fire running down on the earth; the Lord sent an ice-storm on the land of Egypt.
