when darkened by thawing ice, and obscured by snow,
As heat and drought snatch away the melted snow, so Sheol, takes away those who have sinned.
“Have you entered the storehouses of snow or seen the storehouses of hail,
From whose womb comes the ice? Who gives birth to the frost of heaven,
My brothers have acted deceptively, as a seasonal stream, as a torrential stream that overflows
but when they are scorched, they dry up, and in the heat, they vanish from their place.
He sends forth His word and melts them. He makes His wind blow and waters flow.
