Page 146 - He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. "He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
Page 185 - And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions : and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Page 184 - And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle ; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
