⁹ Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading over it His cloud.

² Cloud and darkness `are' round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.

²¹ And the people stand afar off, and Moses hath drawn nigh unto the thick darkness where God `is'.

²⁰ He saith also, `Thou art unable to see My face, for man doth not see Me, and live;'

²¹ Jehovah also saith, `Lo, a place `is' by Me, and thou hast stood on the rock,

²² and it hath come to pass, in the passing by of Mine honour, that I have set thee in a cleft of the rock, and spread out My hands over thee, until My passing by,

²³ and I have turned aside My hands, and thou hast seen My back parts, and My face is not seen.'

³ and no man cometh up with thee, and also no man is seen in all the mount, also the flock and the herd do not feed over-against that mount.'

¹² Then said Solomon, `Jehovah hath said to dwell in thick darkness;

¹⁴ Thick clouds `are' a secret place to Him, And He doth not see;' And the circle of the heavens He walketh habitually,

³ God from Teman doth come, The Holy One from mount Paran. Pause! Covered the heavens hath His majesty, And His praise hath filled the earth.

⁴ And the brightness is as the light, He hath rays out of His hand, And there -- the hiding of His strength.

⁵ Before Him goeth pestilence, And a burning flame goeth forth at His feet.

¹⁶ who only is having immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no one of men did see, nor is able to see, to whom `is' honour and might age-during! Amen.
