Out of whose womb, came forth the ice? And, the hoar-frost of the heavens, who hath given it birth?

Who giveth snow like wool, Hoar-frost - like ashes, he scattereth:

He killed, with hail, their vine, And their sycomores, with frost:

Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah, - He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David, - And, his dead body, shall be cast out - to the heat by day, and to the frost by night;
