27He draws up the water vapor

and then distills it into rain.

28The rain pours down from the clouds,

and everyone benefits.

29Who can understand the spreading of the clouds

and the thunder that rolls forth from heaven?

30See how he spreads the lightning around him

and how it lights up the depths of the sea.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

For he draws up the drops of water;

they distill his mist in rain,

which the skies pour down

and drop on mankind abundantly.

Can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds,

the thunderings of his pavilion?

Behold, he scatters his lightning about him

and covers the roots of the sea.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“He draws up the drops of water,

which distill as rain to the streams;

the clouds pour down their moisture

and abundant showers fall on mankind.

Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds,

how he thunders from his pavilion?

See how he scatters his lightning about him,

bathing the depths of the sea.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

For he makes waterdrops evaporate;

they distill the rain into its mist,

which the clouds pour out

and shower abundantly on mankind.

Can anyone understand how the clouds spread out

or how the thunder roars from God’s pavilion?

See how he spreads his lightning around him

and covers the depths of the sea.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Indeed, he draws up the drops of water;

he distills the rain into its mist,

which the clouds pour down;

they shower abundantly on human beings.

“Moreover, can anyone understand the spreading of clouds,

the thundering of his dwelling place?

Look, he scatters his lightning around him,

and he covers the roots of the sea.

KJV 1900King James Version

For he maketh small the drops of water:

They pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:

Which the clouds do drop

And distil upon man abundantly.

Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds,

Or the noise of his tabernacle?

Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it,

And covereth the bottom of the sea.
