For he saith to the snow, Be thou {on} the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. {likewise...: Heb. and to the shower of rain, and to the showers of rain of his strength}

Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?

Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north. {south: Heb. chamber} {north: Heb. scattering winds}

By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.

Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?

For he saith to the snow, Be thou {on} the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. {likewise...: Heb. and to the shower of rain, and to the showers of rain of his strength}

And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness {there lay} a small round thing, {as} small as the hoar frost on the ground.
