| 13His Spirit made the heavens beautiful, and his power pierced the gliding serpent. | 13By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent. |
| 14These are just the beginning of all that he does, merely a whisper of his power. Who, then, can comprehend the thunder of his power?” | 14Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?” |
