²⁹ From whose womb comes the ice?
And the ^(A)frost of heaven, who gives it birth?

³⁰ The waters harden like stone,
And the surface of the deep is ^(A)frozen.^[a]

¹⁷ He casts out His hail like ^[a]morsels;
Who can stand before His cold?

^18 (A)He sends out His word and melts them;
He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow.
