that run dark with ice, turbid with melting snow.
Drought and heat snatch away the snow waters; so does Sheol those who have sinned.
“Have you entered the storehouses of the snow, or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,
From whose womb did the ice come forth, and who has given birth to the hoarfrost of heaven?
My companions are treacherous like a torrent-bed, like freshets that pass away,
In time of heat they disappear; when it is hot, they vanish from their place.
He sends out his word, and melts them; he makes his wind blow, and the waters flow.
