Fire and hail, snow and clouds; Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;

For He says to the snow, 'Fall [on] the earth'; Likewise to the gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength.

"For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater,

From the chamber [of the south] comes the whirlwind, And cold from the scattering winds [of the north.]

By the breath of God ice is given, And the broad waters are frozen.

From whose womb comes the ice? And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth?
