Sirach 43:22

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.

— Sirach 43:22 —

²³By his counsel he appeaseth the deep, and planteth islands therein.

²⁴They that sail on the sea tell of the danger thereof; and when we hear it with our ears, we marvel thereat.
