He says to the snow,(A) ‘Fall on the earth,’
    and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’(B)
So that everyone he has made may know his work,(C)
    he stops all people from their labor.[a](D)
The animals take cover;(E)
    they remain in their dens.(F)
The tempest comes out from its chamber,(G)
    the cold from the driving winds.(H)
10 The breath of God produces ice,
    and the broad waters become frozen.(I)

  1. Job 37:7 Or work, / he fills all people with fear by his power

For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
