“Listen carefully to the thunder of His voice,
And the rumbling that goes out of His mouth!

And by His sword on all mankind,
And those slain by the Lord will be many.

Stormy

For He spoke and raised up a stormy wind,
Which lifted up the waves of the sea.

For behold, He who forms the mountains and creates the wind
And declares to man what are His thoughts,
He who makes the dawn into darkness
And treads on the heights of the earth—
The Lord God of hosts is His name.
