7 Then the earth began to shake and rock;+

The foundations of the mountains trembled

And shook back and forth because he had been angered.+

 8 Smoke ascended from his nostrils,

And a consuming fire came from his mouth;+

Glowing coals blazed from him.

 9 He made the heavens bend as he descended,+

And thick gloom was beneath his feet.+

11 He then covered himself in darkness,+

All around him as a shelter,

Dark waters and thick clouds.+

12 From the brightness before him

Hail and fiery coals broke through the clouds.

18 The sound of your thunder+ was like chariot wheels;

Flashes of lightning lit up the inhabited earth;*+

The earth trembled and quaked.+
