The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine)
cum ponerem nubem vestimentum ejus, et caligine illud quasi pannis infantiæ obvolverem ?
Septuagint (Swete)
ἐθέμην δὲ αὐτῇ νέφος ἀμφίασιν, ὁμίχλῃ δὲ αὐτὴν ἐσπαργάνωσα·
Hebrew (WLC)
בְּשׂוּמִ֣י עָנָ֣ן לְבֻשׁ֑וֹ וַ֝עֲרָפֶ֗ל חֲתֻלָּתֽוֹ

Haydock's commentary

Mist. So Moses says darkness was on the face of the abyss. Obscurity covered it, as swaddling bands do a child's body. (Calmet)
