Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:

For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.

By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.

Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
