¹⁶ Do you know the workings of the clouds, The wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?

⁴ For truly my words are not false. One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.

⁸ He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.

²⁹ Yes, can any understand the spreading of the clouds, And the thunderings of his pavilion?

² He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

³ He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.

²⁴ Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom have you made them all. The earth is full of your riches.

⁵ Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.

¹⁹ By wisdom Yahweh founded the earth. By understanding, he established the heavens.

²⁰ By his knowledge, the depths were broken up, And the skies drop down the dew.

²² [It is] he who sits above the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants of it are as grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens as a curtain, and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in;

¹² He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens:

¹³ when he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.
