The waters hide themselves {\i and become} like stone,\par\tab And the face of the deep is frozen.\par
By the breath of God ice is given;\par\tab And the breadth of the waters is straitened.
Out of whose womb came the ice?\par\tab And the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
Canst thou bind the cluster of the Pleiades,\par\tab Or loose the bands of Orion?
He maketh a path to shine after him;\par\tab One would think the deep to be hoary.
