Jeremiah 10:13

When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.

KJV

ad vocem suam dat multitudinem aquarum in cælo, et elevat nebulas ab extremitatibus terræ : fulgura in pluviam facit, et educit ventum de thesauris suis.

Vulgate

καὶ πλῆθος ὕδατος ἐν οὐρανῷ, καὶ ἀνήγαγεν νεφέλας ἐξ ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς· ἀστραπὰς εἰς ὑετὸν ἐποίησεν, καὶ ἐξήγαγεν φῶς ἐκ θησαυρῶν αὐτοῦ.

LXX

When he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.
