During all the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.

Binding, to the vine, his ass, And to the choice vine his ass's colt, He hath washed in wine his raiment, And in the blood of grapes, his mantle:

And, the fountain-gate, did Shallun son of Col-hozeh ruler of the circuit of Mizpah, repair, he, built it, and covered it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, - also the wall of the pool of Shelah, by the garden of the king, even as far as the stairs that go down from the city of David;

and Maaseiah son of Baruch, son of Col-hozeh, son of Hazaiah, son of Adaiah, son of Joiarib, son of Zechariah, son of the Shilonite.

Which darken by reason of the cold, over them, is a covering made by the snow:

But, an empty person, will get sense, when, a wild ass's colt, is born a man!

Ill-clad, they are left to lodge without clothing, and have no covering in the cold;

Out of a chamber cometh a storm-wind, and, out of the north, cold.

Casting forth his ice like crumbs, Before his cold, who can stand?

As the cold of snow in the day of harvest, is a faithful messenger to them who send him, - when, the life of his masters, he restoreth.

As splendour of dress on a cold day - vinegar upon nitre, so is a singer with songs, unto a sad heart.

As cold water to a thirsty soul, so is a good report from a far country.

Thy mercenary crowds, are like the swarming locust, and, thy mixed multitudes, like locusts - swarms of locusts, - which settle in the hedges on a cold day, the sun, hath broken forth, and they are in flight, and unknown is the place where they are!

Exult greatly, O daughter of Zion, Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem, Lo! thy king, cometh unto thee, vindicated and victorious, is he, - lowly, and riding upon an ass, yea, upon a colt, a young ass.
