Sirach 43:15-25

Listen to Sirach 43:15-25
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.
20 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.
22 A mist hastens the healing of all things; the dew that appears will give relief from the heat.
23 By his calculations, he stilled the deep, and he planted islands in it.
24 Those who sail the sea describe its danger, and we are amazed at what we hear.
25 Incredible and amazing works are there, all sorts of living things, great sea monsters.
