15. He sends forth His commandment to the earth; His word runs very swiftly.
16. He gives [to the earth] snow like [a blanket of] wool; He scatters the hoarfrost like ashes.
17. He casts forth His ice like crumbs; who can stand before His cold?
18. He sends out His word, and melts [ice and snow]; He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow.
19. He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and His ordinances to Israel. [Mal. 4:4.]
20. He has not dealt so with any [other] nation; they have not known (understood, appreciated, given heed to, and cherished) His ordinances. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) [Ps. 79:6; Jer. 10:25.]
