Sirach 43:21-25

{43:21} He will pour out frost like salt upon the earth. And when it freezes, it will become like the tops of thistles.
{43:22} The cold north wind blows, and the water freezes into crystals; it will rest upon every gathering of water, and it will clothe the water like a breastplate.
{43:23} And it will devour the mountains, and burn the wilderness, and extinguish the greenery, like a fire.
{43:24} Relief for all is in the hurried arrival of a cloud. And the lowly dew will arrive to meet the heat and overpower it.
{43:25} At his word, the wind grows quiet, and by his thought, he appeases the abyss, for the Lord has planted islands in it.
