12. Consider the rainbow, and bless the One who made it; it is very beautiful in its splendor.
13. It encompasses the heavens with the circle of its glory; the hands of the Most High made it appear.
14. By his order, he hastens the snow, and he spurs on the lightning to express his judgment.
15. In like manner, his storehouses are opened, and the clouds fly out like birds.
16. By his greatness, he has positioned the clouds, and the hailstones have been broken.
17. At his glance, the mountains will be shaken, and by his will, the south wind will blow.
18. The voice of his thunder will reverberate through the earth, by a storm from the north, and by a gathering of the whirlwind.
19. And like the birds landing in a flock upon the earth, he sends down the snow; and its descent is like the arrival of a swarm of locusts.
20. The eye is in wonder at the beauty of its whiteness, and the heart is astonished at its falling.
21. He will pour out frost like salt upon the earth. And when it freezes, it will become like the tops of thistles.
