The assertion of divine power—'I clothe the heavens with blackness, and make sackcloth their covering'—affirms that God commands cosmic forces and can darken creation. The image of heaven clothed in darkness and sackcloth suggests divine mourning or judgment. The assertion of power over creation establishes that if God can command cosmos, surely God can command history. This verse uses nature imagery to assert the cosmic dimension of divine power.
