Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:
Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so does the grave those which have sinned.
Have you entered into the treasures of the snow? or have you seen the treasures of the hail,
Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who has gendered it?
My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;
What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
He sends out his word, and melts them: he causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
