He spreads the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ashes.
He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the shower, ‘Be a heavy rain.’
“Have you ever gone into the storehouse of the snow or seen the storehouses for hail,
Who is the mother of the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the sky
lightning and hail, snow and mist, and stormy winds that obey him,
Rain and snow fall from the sky and don’t return without watering the ground. They cause the plants to sprout and grow, making seeds for the farmer and bread for the people.
