Sirach 43:19

¹⁷The noise of the thunder maketh the earth to tremble: So doth the northern storm and the whirlwind: As birds flying he scattereth the snow, And the falling down thereof is as the lighting of grasshoppers:

¹⁸The eye marveleth at the beauty of the whiteness thereof, And the heart is astonished at the raining of it.

— Sirach 43:19 —

²⁰When the cold north wind bloweth, And the water is congealed into ice, It abideth upon every gathering together of water, And clotheth the water as with a breastplate.

²¹It devoureth the mountains, and burneth the wilderness, And consumeth the grass as fire.
