καὶ πάχνην ὡς ἅλα ἐπὶ γῆς χέει, καὶ παγεῖσα γίνεται σκολόπων ἄκρα.
King James Version (KJV)

The hoarfrost also as salt he poureth on the earth, and being congealed, it lieth on the top of sharp stakes.

Modern English

He also pours frost on the earth like salt, and when it freezes it settles like sharp thorns.
