Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.

Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:

By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.

Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?

He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?

Therefore thus saith the LORD of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.

And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.
