7 The voice of Jehovah cleaveth the flames of fire.
The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lightened the world: The earth trembled and shook.
And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and Jehovah sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down unto the earth; and Jehovah rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
And fire came forth from Jehovah, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.
And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. And again he sent unto him another captain of fifty and his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly. And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
Canst thou send forth lightnings, that they may go, And say unto thee, Here we are?
