Job 37:21

And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.

KJV

At nunc non vident lucem : subito aër cogetur in nubes, et ventus transiens fugabit eas.

Vulgate

πᾶσιν δ’ οὐχ ὁρατὸν τὸ φῶς, τηλαυγές ἐστιν ἐν τοῖς παλαιώμασιν, ὥσπερ τὸ παρ’ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ νεφῶν.

LXX

And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind passeth, and cleareth them.
