Ecclesiasticus 43:22

Ecclesiasticus 43:22 Context

¹⁹The hoarfrost also as salt he poureth on the earth, and being congealed, it lieth on the top of sharp stakes. ²⁰When the cold north wind bloweth, and the water is congealed into ice, it abideth upon every gathering together of water, and clotheth the water as with a breastplate. ²¹It devoureth the mountains, and burneth the wilderness, and consumeth the grass as fire. ²²A present remedy of all is a mist coming speedily, a dew coming after heat refresheth. ²³By his counsel he appeaseth the deep, and planteth islands therein. ²⁴They that sail on the sea tell of the danger thereof; and when we hear it with our ears, we marvel thereat. ²⁵For therein be strange and wondrous works, variety of all kinds of beasts and whales created.
