Do you know how God commands them, how he makes lightning flash in his storm cloud?

See how he scattered his lightning about him; he has covered the depths of the sea.

With his hands he covers the lightning, and directs it against its target.

Under the whole heaven he lets it go, even his lightning to the far corners of the earth.

After that a voice roars; he thunders with an exalted voice, and he does not hold back his lightning bolts when his voice is heard.

He loads the clouds with moisture; he scatters his lightning through the clouds.

In what direction is lightning dispersed, or the east winds scattered over the earth?

Can you send out lightning bolts, and they go? Will they say to you, 'Here we are'?

Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash,

On it the quiver rattles; the lance and javelin flash.

Its snorting throws out flashes of light; its eyes are like the red glow of dawn.
