Job

Job 36:27–30

²⁷For He draws up drops of water

which distill the rain from the mist,

²⁸which the clouds pour out

and shower abundantly on mankind.

²⁹Furthermore, who can understand how the clouds spread out,

how the thunder roars from His pavilion?

³⁰See how He scatters His lightning around Him

and covers the depths of the sea.
