Ecclesiasticus 43:19 Context
17The noise of the thunder maketh the earth to tremble: so doth the Northren storme, and the whirlewinde: as birds flying he scattereth the snow, and the falling downe thereof, is as the lighting of grashoppers. 18The eye marueileth at the beauty of the whitenesse thereof, and the heart is astonished at the raining of it. 19The hoare frost also as salt hee powreth on the earth, and being congealed, it lieth on the toppe of sharpe stakes. 20Wheu the colde North-winde bloweth, and the water is congealed into yce, it abideth vpon euery gathering together of water, and clotheth the water as with a brestplate. 21It deuoureth the mountaines, and burneth the wildernesse, and consumeth the grasse as fire.
