147:15He17 sends his command through the earth;18
swiftly his order reaches its destination.19
147:16He sends the snow that is white like wool;
he spreads the frost that is white like ashes.20
147:17He throws his hailstones21 like crumbs.
Who can withstand the cold wind he sends?22
147:18He then orders it all to melt;23
he breathes on it,24 and the water flows.

He sends his orders to the world—
how swiftly his word flies!
He sends the snow like white wool;
he scatters frost upon the ground like ashes.
He hurls the hail like stones.
Who can stand against his freezing cold?
Then, at his command, it all melts.
He sends his winds, and the ice thaws.
