¹⁷ When you are sweltering in your clothes
    and the south wind dies down and everything is still,

¹⁸ Then, at his command, it all melts.
    He sends his winds, and the ice thaws.

³¹ “Can you direct the movement of the stars—
    binding the cluster of the Pleiades
    or loosening the cords of Orion?

¹⁷ But when the hot weather arrives, the water disappears.
    The brook vanishes in the heat.
