That they may do whatsoever he commandeth them

Upon the face of the habitable world,

13 Whether it be for correction, or for his land,

Or for lovingkindness, that he cause it to come.

11 Also with plentiful moisture he loadeth the thick clouds, his light dispels the cloud; 12 And they are turned every way by his guidance, that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the circuit of the earth, 13 Whether he cause it to come as a rod, or for his land, or in mercy.

Or he brings them to water his earth and show his love.

11 “Also with moisture He loads the thick cloud;

He disperses the cloud of His lightning.

12 “It changes direction, turning around by His guidance,

That it may do whatever He commands it

On the face of the inhabited earth.

13 “Whether for correction, or for His world,

Or for lovingkindness, He causes it to happen.
