The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear when I speak with you, and they will always put their trust in you.” And Moses relayed to the LORD what the people had said.

O LORD, when You went out from Seir, when You marched from the land of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens poured out rain, and the clouds poured down water.

He made darkness a canopy around Him, a gathering of water and thick clouds.

…is like the light of the morning at sunrise of a cloudless dawn, the glistening after the rain on the sprouting grass of the earth.’

On the seventh time the servant reported, “There is a cloud as small as a man’s hand rising from the sea.” And Elijah replied, “Go and tell Ahab, ‘Prepare your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.’”

Meanwhile, the sky grew dark with clouds and wind, and a heavy rain began to fall. So Ahab rode away and went to Jezreel.

Though his arrogance reaches the heavens, and his head touches the clouds,

Thick clouds veil Him so He does not see us as He traverses the vault of heaven.’

He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.

Terrors are turned loose against me; they drive away my dignity as by the wind, and my prosperity has passed like a cloud.

Furthermore, who can understand how the clouds spread out, how the thunder roars from His pavilion?

He loads the clouds with moisture; He scatters His lightning through them.

Do you understand how the clouds float, those wonders of Him who is perfect in knowledge?

Can you command the clouds so that a flood of water covers you?

He made darkness His hiding place, and storm clouds a canopy around Him.

From the brightness of His presence His clouds advanced—hailstones and coals of fire.

The clouds poured down water; the skies resounded with thunder; Your arrows flashed back and forth.

…laying the beams of His chambers in the waters above, making the clouds His chariot, walking on the wings of the wind.

…who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow on the hills.

When a king’s face brightens, there is life; his favor is like a rain cloud in spring.

If the clouds are full, they will pour out rain upon the earth; whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where it falls, there it will lie.

He who watches the wind will fail to sow, and he who observes the clouds will fail to reap.

…before the light of the sun, moon, and stars is darkened, and the clouds return after the rain,

I will make it a wasteland, neither pruned nor cultivated, and thorns and briers will grow up. I will command the clouds that rain shall not fall on it.”

I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”

For this is what the LORD has told me: “I will quietly look on from My dwelling place, like shimmering heat in the sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”

This is the burden against Egypt: Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud; He is coming to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble before Him, and the hearts of the Egyptians will melt within them.

…like heat in a dry land. You subdue the uproar of foreigners. As the shade of a cloud cools the heat, so the song of the ruthless is silenced.

I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud, and your sins like a mist. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you.

Who are these who fly like clouds, like doves to their shelters?

Every city flees at the sound of the horseman and archer. They enter the thickets and climb among the rocks. Every city is abandoned; no inhabitant is left.
