God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so.

Behold, I, even I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish.

Also the fountains of the deep and the floodgates of the sky were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained;

“He sinks a shaft far from habitation,
Forgotten by the foot;
They hang and swing to and fro far from men.

“Or who enclosed the sea with doors
When, bursting forth, it went out from the womb;

He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap;
He lays up the deeps in storehouses.

You broke open springs and torrents;

You dried up ever-flowing streams.

When He made firm the skies above,
When the springs of the deep became fixed,

The earth is broken asunder,

The earth is split through,
The earth is shaken violently.

‘Do you not fear Me?’ declares the Lord.
‘Do you not tremble in My presence?
For I have placed the sand as a boundary for the sea,
An eternal decree, so it cannot cross over it.
Though the waves toss, yet they cannot prevail;
Though they roar, yet they cannot cross over it.

When He utters His voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens,
And He causes the clouds to ascend from the end of the earth;
He makes lightning for the rain
And brings forth the wind from His storehouses.

For thus says the Lord God, “When I make you a desolate city, like the cities which are not inhabited, when I bring up the deep over you and the great waters cover you,

The Lord God of hosts,
The One who touches the land so that it melts,
And all those who dwell in it mourn,
And all of it rises up like the Nile
And subsides like the Nile of Egypt;

For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,

While they are saying, “Peace and safety!” then

destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.

The royal officer on whose hand the king was leaning answered the man of God and said, “Behold, if the Lord should make windows in heaven, could this thing be?” Then he said, “Behold, you will see it with your own eyes, but you will not eat of it.”

Yet He commanded the clouds above
And opened the doors of heaven;

Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this,” says the Lord of hosts, “if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until

it overflows.
