Job 36:29
Furthermore, who can understand how the clouds spread out, how the thunder roars from His pavilion?
BSB
ASV
Yea, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, The thunderings of his pavilion?
KJV
Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
Also, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds? - The out spreading - the manner in which they expand themselves over us. The idea is, that the manner in which the clouds seem to “spread out,” or unfold themselves on the sky, could not be explained, and was a striking proof of the wisdom and power of God. In the early periods of the world, it could not be expected that the causes of these phenomena would be known.
Understand - Whence it comes to pass, that a small cloud, no bigger than a man's hand, suddenly spreads over the whole heavens: how the clouds come to be suddenly gathered, and so condensed as to bring forth thunder and lightning. Noise - The thunder produced in the clouds, which are often called God's tent or tabernacle.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

For truly my words are free of falsehood; one perfect in knowledge is with you.
He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth; its dwellers are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
The LORD made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding.

Habakkuk 3:10The mountains saw You and quaked; torrents of water swept by. The deep roared with its voice and lifted its hands on high.

For the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed over, just as He did to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until…
The beasts of the field will honor Me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I provide water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My chosen people.
Let the sea resound, and all that fills it, the world, and all who dwell in it.
The floodwaters have risen, O LORD; the rivers have raised their voice; the seas lift up their pounding waves.
I looked at the mountains, and behold, they were quaking; all the hills were swaying.
