In context
21He shall pour frost as salt upon the earth: and when it freezeth, it shall become like the tops of thistles.
22The cold north wind bloweth, and the water is congealed into crystal; upon every gathering together of waters it shall rest, and shall clothe the waters as a breastplate.
23And it shall devour the mountains, and burn the wilderness, and consume all that is green as with fire.
24A present remedy of all is the speedy coming of a cloud, and a dew that meeteth it, by the heat that cometh, shall overpower it.
25At his word the wind is still, and with his thought he appeaseth the deep, and the Lord hath planted islands therein.
