- He says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth,' and to the rain shower, 'Be a mighty downpour.'
 - So that all men he has made may know his work, he stops every man from his labor.
 - The animals take cover; they remain in their dens.
 - The tempest comes out from its chamber, the cold from the driving winds.
 - The breath of God produces ice, and the broad waters become frozen.

- "For to the snow He says, 'Fall on the earth,' And to the downpour and the rain, 'Be strong.'
 - "He seals the hand of every man, That all men may know His work.
 - "Then the beast goes into its lair And remains in its den.
 - "Out of the south comes the storm, And out of the north the cold.
 - "From the breath of God ice is made, And the expanse of the waters is frozen.
