Job 37:8
6 For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the gentle rain, ‘Pour out a mighty downpour.’
7 He seals up the hand of every man, so that all men may know His work.
The wild animals enter their lairs; they settle down in their dens.
9 The tempest comes from its chamber, and the cold from the driving north winds.
10 By the breath of God the ice is formed and the watery expanses are frozen.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
