On the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning, a thick cloud appeared on the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast was heard. All the people in the camp trembled with fear.

When the people heard the thunder and the trumpet blast and saw the lightning and the smoking mountain, they trembled with fear and stood a long way off.

It's the dry season, isn't it? But I will pray, and the LORD will send thunder and rain. When this happens, you will realize that you committed a great sin against the LORD when you asked him for a king."

So Samuel prayed, and on that same day the LORD sent thunder and rain. Then all the people became afraid of the LORD and of Samuel,

The storm makes my heart beat wildly.

He sends the lightning across the sky, from one end of the earth to the other.

At God's command amazing things happen, wonderful things that we can't understand.

The voice of the LORD is heard on the seas; the glorious God thunders, and his voice echoes over the ocean.

The crash of your thunder rolled out, and flashes of lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and shook.

There were flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder, and a terrible earthquake. There has never been such an earthquake since the creation of human beings; this was the worst earthquake of all!

Huge hailstones, each weighing as much as a hundred pounds, fell from the sky on people, who cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because it was such a terrible plague.

While the Amorites were running down the pass from the Israelite army, the LORD made large hailstones fall down on them all the way to Azekah. More were killed by the hailstones than by the Israelites.

Have you ever visited the storerooms, where I keep the snow and the hail?

I keep them ready for times of trouble, for days of battle and war.

Then the LORD thundered from the sky; and the voice of the Most High was heard.

He killed their grapevines with hail and their fig trees with frost.

He killed their cattle with hail and their flocks with lightning.

He sent hail and lightning on their land instead of rain;

he destroyed their grapevines and fig trees and broke down all the trees.

lightning and hail, snow and clouds, strong winds that obey his command.

The LORD will let everyone hear his majestic voice and feel the force of his anger. There will be flames, cloudbursts, hailstones, and torrents of rain.

I will punish him with disease and bloodshed. Torrents of rain and hail, together with fire and sulfur, will pour down on him and his army and on the many nations that are on his side.

The first angel blew his trumpet. Hail and fire, mixed with blood, came pouring down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees, and every blade of green grass.
