Therefore they will disappear like ¹  the morning mist, ²  like early morning dew that evaporates, ³  like chaff that is blown away ⁴  from a threshing floor, like smoke that disappears through an open window.

He grows up ¹  like a flower and then withers away; ²  he flees like a shadow, and does not remain. ³ 

like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds after the rain. ¹  This was the appearance of the surrounding brilliant light; it looked like the glory of the Lord. When I saw ²  it, I threw myself face down, and I heard a voice speaking.

He made the sky sink ¹  as he descended; a thick cloud was under his feet.

He mounted ¹  a winged angel ²  and flew; he glided ³  on the wings of the wind. ⁴ 

From the brightness in front of him came coals of fire. ¹ 

Even though his stature ¹  reaches to the heavens and his head touches the clouds,

He draws up drops of water; they distill ¹  the rain into its mist, ² 

With his hands ¹  he covers ²  the lightning, and directs it against its target.

He made the sky sink ¹  as he descended; a thick cloud was under his feet.

From the brightness in front of him came hail and fiery coals. ¹

He shrouded himself in darkness, ¹  in thick rain clouds. ² 

I go about blackened, ¹  but not by the sun; in the assembly I stand up and cry for help.

He mounted ¹  a winged angel ²  and flew; he glided ³  on the wings of the wind. ⁴ 

He shrouded himself in darkness, ¹  in thick rain clouds. ²
