8Then the earth reeled and quaked; the foundations of the heavens trembled and shook, because he was angry.

9Smoke went up from his nostrils, and consuming fire from his mouth; coals blazed from him.

10He bent the heavens and came down; thick darkness was under his feet.

11He rode on a cherub and flew; he appeared on the wings of the wind.

12He made darkness a shelter around him, a massing of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

13From the brightness before him, coals of fire blazed forth.

14Yahweh thundered from heaven, and the Most High gave his voice.

15He sent arrows and scattered them; lightning, and threw them into confusion.

16Then the channels of the sea were seen; the foundations of the world were laid bare at the rebuke of Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
