Isaiah 60:8

60:8 Who are these who float along ¹  like a cloud,

who fly like doves to their shelters? ² 

Isaiah 24:18

24:18 The one who runs away from the sound of the terror

will be trapped by the snare.

For the floodgates of the heavens ⁴  are opened up ⁵ 

and the foundations of the earth shake.
