8 Back and forth the earth began to shake and rock;+

The foundations of the heavens trembled+

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

 9 Smoke ascended from his nostrils,

And a consuming fire came from his mouth;+

Glowing coals blazed from him.

10 He made the heavens bend as he descended,+

And thick gloom was beneath his feet.+

12 Then he put darkness around him as a shelter,+

In dark waters and thick clouds.

14 Then Jehovah began to thunder from heaven;+

The Most High made his voice heard.+

15 He shot his arrows+ and scattered them;

Lightning, and he threw them into confusion.+

16 The bed of the sea became visible;+

The foundations of the land were exposed by the rebuke of Jehovah,

By the blast of the breath from his nostrils.+

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

Flashes of lightning lit up the inhabited earth;*+

The earth trembled and quaked.+
