18:7 The earth heaved and shook; ¹ 

the roots of the mountains ²  trembled; ³ 

they heaved because he was angry.

18:8 Smoke ascended from ⁴  his nose; ⁵ 

fire devoured as it came from his mouth; ⁶ 

he hurled down fiery coals. ⁷ 

18:9 He made the sky sink ⁸  as he descended;

a thick cloud was under his feet.

18:10 He mounted ⁹  a winged angel ¹⁰  and flew;

he glided ¹¹  on the wings of the wind. ¹² 

18:11 He shrouded himself in darkness, ¹³ 

in thick rain clouds. ¹⁴ 

18:12 From the brightness in front of him came

hail and fiery coals. ¹⁵ 

18:13 The Lord thundered ¹⁶  in ¹⁷  the sky;

the sovereign One ¹⁸  shouted. ¹⁹ 

18:14 He shot his ²⁰  arrows and scattered them, ²¹ 

many lightning bolts ²²  and routed them. ²³ 

18:15 The depths ²⁴  of the sea ²⁵  were exposed;

the inner regions ²⁶  of the world were uncovered

by ²⁷  your battle cry, ²⁸  Lord,

by the powerful breath from your nose. ²⁹ 

1:8 God called the expanse “sky.” ¹  There was evening, and there was morning, a second day.
