9. The beauty of heaven, the glory of the stars, An ornament giving light in the highest places of the Lord.
10. At the word of the Holy One they will stand in due order, And they will not faint in their watches.
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.
