Job 37:6

For to the snow he says, "Fall upon the earth!"
and [similarly to] the rain and the showers: "Rain in showers!"
[The phrase "rain and showers" (Hebr. geshem matar) is repeated twice. In the second repetition, matar is in the plural (mitrot), which probably describes how the rain intensifies and comes in several showers.]
