Sirach 43:18-20

Common English Bible

¹⁸ The eye marvels at its beautiful whiteness,
    and the heart is amazed
    at its showering down.
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.
