²⁹ Who is the mother of the ice?
    Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens?

¹⁶ He sends the snow like white wool;
    he scatters frost upon the ground like ashes.
¹⁷ He hurls the hail like stones.^[a]
    Who can stand against his freezing cold?

¹⁰ God’s breath sends the ice,
    freezing wide expanses of water.

⁸ “Who kept the sea inside its boundaries
    as it burst from the womb,

¹⁶     when it is swollen with ice and melting snow.
