Out of whose womb came the ice?\par\tab And the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
By the breath of God ice is given;\par\tab And the breadth of the waters is straitened.
Or {\i who} shut up the sea with doors,\par\tab When it brake forth, {\i as if} it had issued out of the womb;
Which are black by reason of the ice,\par\tab {\i And} wherein the snow hideth itself:
The waters hide themselves {\i and become} like stone,\par\tab And the face of the deep is frozen.\par
