Sirach 43:17

17 The sound of his thunder scolds the earth, as do storms from the north and whirlwinds. He sprinkles the snow like birds flying down, and its descent is like locusts alighting.

Sirach 43:17 In-Context

15 In his might he subdues clouds, and stones are broken apart for hail.
16 and mountains will be shaken when he appears. The south wind blows by his will,
17 The sound of his thunder scolds the earth, as do storms from the north and whirlwinds. He sprinkles the snow like birds flying down, and its descent is like locusts alighting.
18 The eye marvels at its beautiful whiteness, and the heart is amazed at its showering down.
19 He pours frost, like salt, upon the earth, and when it freezes it has pointy thorns.
