apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:43:3 @ At noon it parcheth the country, and who can abide the burning heat thereof?

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:43:4 @ A man blowing a furnace is in works of heat, but the sun burneth the mountains three times more; breathing out fiery vapours, and sending forth bright beams, it dimmeth the eyes.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:43:17 @ The 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:

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:43:18 @ The eye marvelleth at the beauty of the whiteness thereof, and the heart is astonished at the raining of it.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:43:19 @ The hoarfrost also as salt he poureth on the earth, and being congealed, it lieth on the top of sharp stakes.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:43:20 @ When the cold north wind bloweth, and the water is congealed into ice, it abideth upon every gathering together of water, and clotheth the water as with a breastplate.
