1:14  And his head and his hairs were white as white wool and as snow. And his eyes were as a flame of fire:

1:14  caput autem ejus, et capilli erant candidi tamquam lana alba, et tamquam nix, et oculi ejus tamquam flamma ignis :

1:14  His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

1:15  And his feet like unto fine brass, as in a burning furnace. And his voice as the sound of many waters.
