| 14 | Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which cometh from the rock of the field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken? | Does the snow of Lebanon ever leave its rocky slopes? Or do its cool waters flowing from a distance ever run dry? | Shall the snow of Lebanon fail from the rock of the field? or shall the cold waters that flow down from afar be dried up? |
