Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:

Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;

Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, {which} is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it. {and...: or, after thou hadst made it to desire rain}

Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number: {unsearchable: Heb. there is no search} {without...: Heb. till there be no number}

Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?

The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour. {the vapour: Heb. that which goeth up}

Are there {any} among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? {art} not thou he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these {things}.

And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and {there was} not a man to till the ground.

And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud: {his...: Heb. the cloud of his light}

By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

For he saith to the snow, Be thou {on} the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. {likewise...: Heb. and to the shower of rain, and to the showers of rain of his strength}

Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; {so} the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field. {bright...: or, lightnings}

Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?

Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.

When he uttereth his voice, {there is} a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. {multitude: or, noise} {with: or, for}

Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.

Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;

To cause it to rain on the earth, {where} no man {is; on} the wilderness, wherein {there is} no man;

For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth. {destroy: Heb. blot out}
