9Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals blazed forth. 10He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds beneath His feet. He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind. 12He made darkness a canopy around Him, a gathering of water and thick clouds. 13From the brightness of His presence coals of fire blazed forth.
