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

The verse 16 is found in chapter 51 of Jeremiah. God announces Babylon’s destruction through images of destructive wind, threshing, and judgment. In contrast, Israel and Judah are called to remember the Creator of all things. True security is not found in the empire or its gods, but in Yahweh, who made the earth and can bring down what appears invincible.

Wenn er donnert, so ist da Wasser die Menge unter dem Himmel; er zieht die Nebel auf vom Ende der Erde; er macht die Blitze im Regen und läßt den Wind kommen aus seinen Vorratskammern.
El que da con su voz muchedumbre de aguas del cielo, y hace subir las nubes de lo postrero de la tierra; él hace relámpagos con la lluvia, y saca el viento de sus tesoros.
Cuando da su voz, hay un estruendo de aguas en los cielos. Hace subir las nubes desde los confines de la tierra, produce relámpagos para la lluvia y saca el viento de sus depósitos.
A sa voix, les eaux mugissent dans les cieux, Il fait monter les nuages des extrémités de la terre, Il produit les éclairs et la pluie, Il tire le vent de ses trésors.
Tosto ch’egli dà fuori la sua voce, vi è un romore d’acque nel cielo; egli fa salir vapori dalle estremità della terra, e fa lampi per la pioggia, e trae il vento fuor de’ suoi tesori.
Fazendo ele ouvir a sua voz, grande estrondo de águas há nos céus, e faz subir os vapores desde o fim da terra; faz os relâmpagos com a chuva, e tira o vento dos seus tesouros,
他一出聲,天上就有眾水澎湃; 他使雲霧從地極上騰, 造電隨雨而閃, 從倉庫中吹出風來。
