I listened to his voice,<n id="1" /> and as I did so<n id="2" /> I fell into a trance-like sleep with my face to the ground.

<p class="poetry">They sound like<n id="1" /> chariots rumbling<n id="2" /> over mountain tops,p> <p class="poetry">like the crackling<n id="3" /> of blazing fire consuming stubble,p> <p class="poetry">like the noise of<n id="4" /> a mighty army<n id="5" /> being drawn up for battle.<n id="6" />p>

<p class="poetry">Listen to the howling of shepherds,p> <p class="poetry">because their magnificence has been destroyed.p> <p class="poetry">Listen to the roaring of young lions,p> <p class="poetry">because the thickets of the Jordan have been devastated.p>

Now then, my son, do<n id="1" /> exactly what I tell you!<n id="2" />

Then Jacob kissed Rachel and began to weep loudly.<n id="1" />

<p class="bodytext">Moses listened to<n id="1" /> his father-in-law and did everything he had said.

<t /><p class="bodytext">When the <sc>Lordsc> heard you, he became angry and made this vow:<n id="1" />

<p class="poetry">The <sc>Lordsc> thundered<n id="1" /> from the sky;p> <p class="poetry">the sovereign One<n id="2" /> shouted loudly.<n id="3" />p>

They swore their allegiance to the <sc>Lordsc>, shouting their approval loudly and sounding trumpets and horns.<n id="1" />

<p class="poetry">There<n id="1" /> the prisoners<n id="2" /> relax<n id="3" /> together;<n id="4" />p> <p class="poetry">they do not hear the voice of the oppressor.<n id="5" />p>

<p class="poetry">There is<n id="1" /> the roaring of the lion<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">and the growling<n id="3" /> of the young lion,p> <p class="poetry">but the teeth of the young lions are broken.<n id="4" />p>

<p class="poetry">If I summoned him, and he answered me,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">I would not believe<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">that he would be listening to my voice &#8211;p>

<t /><p class="poetry">&#8220;If you have<n id="1" /> understanding, listen to this,p> <p class="poetry">hear what I have to say.<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">Listen carefully<n id="1" /> to the thunder of his voice,p> <p class="poetry">to the rumbling<n id="2" /> that proceeds from his mouth.p>

<p class="poetry">Do you have an arm as powerful as God&#8217;s,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">and can you thunder with a voice like his?p>

<p class="poetry">There is no actual speech or word,p> <p class="poetry">nor is its<n id="1" /> voice literally heard.p>
