ESVEnglish Standard Version

He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him,

thick clouds dark with water.

Out of the brightness before him

hailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds.

The Lord also thundered in the heavens,

and the Most High uttered his voice,

hailstones and coals of fire.

And he sent out his arrows and scattered them;

he flashed forth lightnings and routed them.

the dark rain clouds of the sky.

the voice of the Most High resounded.

He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy,

with great bolts of lightning he routed them.

he hurled lightning bolts and routed them.

He shrouded himself in darkness,

veiling his approach with dark rain clouds.

Thick clouds shielded the brightness around him

amid the hail and burning coals.

He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies;

great bolts of lightning flashed, and they were confused.

with hail and coals of fire.

and the Most High uttered his voice

with hail and coals of fire.

And he shot his arrows and scattered them,

and many lightning bolts and routed them.

He made darkness his secret place;

His pavilion round about him

Were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed,

Hail stones and coals of fire.

And the Highest gave his voice;

Hail stones and coals of fire.

Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them;

And he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
