Sirach 43:14-17

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁴ Therefore the storehouses are opened,
    and the clouds fly out like birds.
¹⁵ In his majesty he gives the clouds their strength,
    and the hailstones are broken in pieces.
^17a The voice of his thunder rebukes the earth;
¹⁶     when he appears, the mountains shake.
At his will the south wind blows;
^17b     so do the storm from the north and the whirlwind.
He scatters the snow like birds flying down,
    and its descent is like locusts alighting.
