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.

A cold north wind will blow, and ice will freeze on the water; it will settle on every pool of water, and the water will put it on like armor.
21
He will consume mountains, burn up the wilderness, and extinguish grass like a fire.
