Sirach 43:19-22 Common English Bible (CEB)

19. He pours frost, like salt, upon the earth,and when it freezes it has pointy thorns.

20. A cold north wind will blow,and ice will freeze on the water;it will settle on every pool of water,and the water will put it on like armor.

21. He will consume mountains,burn up the wilderness,and extinguish grass like a fire.

22. A mist hastens the healing of all things;the dew that appearswill give relief from the heat.
