Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall _clothe_ themselves with trembling.--Ezekiel, xxvi. 16. Take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be _clothed_? for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.--Matthew, vi. 31, 32. For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be _unclothed_, but _clothed_ upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.--II. Corinthians, v. 4. If there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment: And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay _clothing_, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?--James, ii. 2, 3, 4. If thou beest he; but O how fall’n! how changed From him who in the happy realms of light, _Clothed_ with transcendent brightness, did’st outshine Myriads, though bright! _Milton._ The golden palace of my God, Towering above the clouds I see; Beyond the cherub’s bright abode, Higher than angels’ thoughts can be! How can I in those courts appear Without a wedding garment on? Conduct me, Thou life-giver, there, Conduct me to thy glorious throne! And _clothe_ me with thy robes of light, And lead me through sin’s darksome night. _Bowring, from the Russian._ All _clothed_ with majesty and power, The Lord of glory and of might, He comes, who can abide the hour? Who can behold the dreadful sight? He, even he, who hath put on The spotless robe of righteousness, Washed in the blood of God’s dear Son: Thus _clothed_, the ransomed soul may press Into the presence bright with songs of thankfulness. _Egone._ CLOUDS. Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of His years be searched out. For He maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof; Which the _clouds_ do drop and distil upon man abundantly. With _clouds_ He covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the _cloud_ that cometh betwixt.--Job, xxxvi. 26, 27, 28, 32. Who maketh the _clouds_ His chariot; who walketh upon the wings of the wind.--Psalm civ. 3. While they beheld, He was taken up; and a _cloud_ received Him out of their sight.--Acts, i. 9. Behold He cometh with _clouds_; and every eye shall see Him.--Revelation, i. 7.
