Wycliffe Bible
The voice of his thunder shall beat the earth; the tempest of the north, and the gathering together of (the) wind. And as a bird putting down to sit sprinkleth (or scattereth) (the) snow, and the coming down of that snow is as a locust drenching (or drowning) down. [The voice of his thunder beateth the earth; and the tempest of the north, and the gathering of wind. And as a bird putting down to sit sprinkleth the snow, and as a locust drenching the descendings of it.]
