Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 43:18

ὡς πετεινὰ καθιπτάμενα πάσσει χιόνα, καὶ ὡς ἀκρὶς καταλύουσα ἡ κατάβασς αὐτῆς· κάλλος λευκότητος αὐτῆς ἐκθαυμάσει ὀφθαλμός, καὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ ὑετοῦ αὐτῆς ἐκστήσεται καρδία.
King James Version (KJV)

The eye marvelleth at the beauty of the whiteness thereof, and the heart is astonished at the raining of it.

Modern English

The eye marvels at the beauty of its whiteness, and the heart is amazed as it falls.
