17 Él lanza su nieve como migas. ¿Quién puede resistir su helada?
He sends hail down like (pebbles/tiny stones); [when that happens], (it is very difficult to endure because the air becomes very cold./who can endure because the air becomes very cold?) [RHQ]
18 Envía su Palabra, Y la derrite, Impulsa su viento para que sople, Y fluyan las aguas.

He has not done that for any other nation; the other nations do not know his laws. Praise Yahweh!
