Sirach 43:15
King James VersionSource notes
“By his great power he maketh the clouds firm, and the hailstones are broken small.”
Context
12It compasseth the heaven about with a glorious circle, and the hands of the most High have bended it.
13By his commandment he maketh the snow to fall aplace, and sendeth swiftly the lightnings of his judgment.
14Through this the treasures are opened: and clouds fly forth as fowls.
15By his great power he maketh the clouds firm, and the hailstones are broken small.
16At his sight the mountains are shaken, and at his will the south wind bloweth.
17The noise of the thunder maketh the earth to tremble: so doth the northern storm and the whirlwind: as birds flying he scattereth the snow, and the falling down thereof is as the lighting of grasshoppers:
18The eye marvelleth at the beauty of the whiteness thereof, and the heart is astonished at the raining of it.
