22:8 The earth heaved and shook; 1
the foundations of the sky 2 trembled. 3
They heaved because he was angry.
22:9 Smoke ascended from 4 his nose; 5
fire devoured as it came from his mouth; 6
he hurled down fiery coals. 7
22:10 He made the sky sink 8 as he descended;
a thick cloud was under his feet.
22:11 He mounted 9 a winged angel 10 and flew;
he glided 11 on the wings of the wind. 12
22:12 He shrouded himself in darkness, 13
in thick rain clouds. 14
22:13 From the brightness in front of him
came coals of fire. 15
22:14 The Lord thundered 16 from the sky;
the sovereign One 17 shouted loudly. 18
22:15 He shot 19 arrows and scattered them, 20
lightning and routed them. 21
22:16 The depths 22 of the sea were exposed;
the inner regions 23 of the world were uncovered
by the Lord’s battle cry, 24
by the powerful breath from his nose. 25
22:17 He reached down from above and grabbed me; 26
he pulled me from the surging water. 27
