Perhaps these difficult verses should be rendered, "He covereth the concave with lightning, and chargeth it what it shall strike. Its noise declareth concerning him; a magazine of wrath against iniquity." "He holdeth backª° the faceª of his throne,ª [and] spreadethª° his cloudª upon¹ it." {Job 26:9} + "And the LORDª saidª° unto¹ Moses,ª Stretch outª° thine handª toward¹ heaven,ª that there may be¹ darknessª over¹ the landª of Egypt,ª even darknessª [which] may be felt.ª° ... They sawª° not¹ oneª¹ another,ª neither¹ roseª° anyª from his place¹¹ for threeª days:ª but all¹ the childrenª of Israelª had¹ lightª in their dwellings.ª" {Exd 10:21-23} + "He madeª° darkness²¹ his secret place;ª his pavilionª round aboutª him [were] darkª watersª [and] thick cloudsª of the skies.ª" {Psa 18:11} + "He causeth the vapoursª to ascendª° from the endsª¹ of the earth;ª he makethª° lightningsª for the rain;ª he bringethª° the windª out of his treasuries.ª¹" {Psa 135:7} + "Who coverethª° the heavenª with clouds,ª who preparethª° rainª for the earth,ª who maketh grassª to growª° upon the mountains.ª ... He givethª° to the beastª his food,ª [and] to the youngª ravensª which¹ cry.ª°" {Psa 147:8-9} + "Fire,ª and hail;ª snow,ª and vapour;ª stormyª windª fulfillingª° his word:ª" {Psa 148:8} + "Andª when neitherª sunª norª starsª inª manyª daysª appeared,ª° andª noª smallª tempestª lay onª° [us], allª hopeª that weª should be savedª° was²° thenª taken away.ª°" {Act 27:20} |
