11. Look upon the rainbow, and praise him that made it; Exceeding beautiful in the brightness thereof.
12. It encircles the heaven round about with a circle of glory; The hands of the Most High have stretched it.
13. By his commandment he makes the snow to fall apace, And sends swiftly the lightnings of his judgement.
14. By reason thereof the treasure-houses are opened; And clouds fly forth as fowls.
15. By his mighty power he makes strong the clouds, And the hailstones are broken small:
16. And at his appearing the mountains will be shaken, And at his will the south wind will blow.
17. The voice of his thunder makes the earth to travail; So does the northern storm and the whirlwind: As birds flying down he sprinkleth the snow; And as the lighting of the locust is the falling down thereof:
18. The eye will marvel at the beauty of its whiteness, And the heart will be astonished at the raining of it.
19. The hoar frost also he pours on the earth as salt; And when it is congealed, it is as points of thorns.
