6 “He says to the snow, ‘Fall to the ground,’and to the pouring rain, ‘Rain harder!’
7 He makes it impossible to do anything so that people will recognize his work.
8 Animals go into their densand stay in their lairs.
9 A storm comes out of its chamber.It is cold because of the strong winds.
10 God’s breath produces ice,and the seas freeze over.
11 Yes, he loads the thick clouds with moistureand scatters his lightning from the clouds.
12 He guides the clouds as they churn round and roundover the face of the inhabited earthto do everything he orders them.
