| 1:24 | And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings. | And I hear the noise of their wings, as the noise of many waters, as the noise of the Mighty One, in their going -- the noise of tumult, as the noise of a camp, in their standing they let fall their wings. |
| 1:25 | And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings. | And there is a voice from above the expanse, that `is' above their head: in their standing they let fall their wings. |

And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake. | As the appearance of the bow that is in a cloud in a day of rain, so `is' the appearance of the brightness round about. |
