Jeremiah 10:13

At the voice that he uttered, there was a tumult of waters in the heavens, And he caused vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth,—The lightnings for rain, he made, And brought forth wind out of his treasuries.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.

In Context

14Every son of earth hath become too brutish to discern, Every goldsmith, hath been put to shame by a graven image,—For a falsehood, is his molten image, Seeing there is no breath in them.
