Wind

But God remembered Noah and all the animals and livestock that were with him in the ark. And God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters began to subside.

After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted, thin and scorched by the east wind.

After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted—withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind.

Moreover, the seven thin, ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and so are the seven worthless heads of grain scorched by the east wind—they are seven years of famine.

So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and throughout that day and night the LORD sent an east wind across the land. By morning the east wind had brought the locusts.

So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and throughout that day and night the LORD sent an east wind across the land. By morning the east wind had brought the locusts.

And the LORD changed the wind to a very strong west wind that carried off the locusts and blew them into the Red Sea. Not a single locust remained anywhere in Egypt.

And the LORD changed the wind to a very strong west wind that carried off the locusts and blew them into the Red Sea. Not a single locust remained anywhere in Egypt.

Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the LORD drove back the sea with a strong east wind that turned it into dry land. So the waters were divided,

Now a wind sent by the LORD came up, drove in quail from the sea, and brought them near the camp, about two cubits above the surface of the ground, for a day’s journey in every direction around the camp.

He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind.

Meanwhile, the sky grew dark with clouds and wind, and a heavy rain began to fall. So Ahab rode away and went to Jezreel.

Then the LORD said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the LORD. Behold, the LORD is about to pass by.” And a great and mighty wind tore into the mountains and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake.

For the LORD says, ‘You will not see wind or rain, but the valley will be filled with water, and you will drink—you and your cattle and your animals.’

…when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on the young people and they are dead, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”

Do you intend to correct my words, and treat as wind my cry of despair?

“How long will you go on saying such things? The words of your mouth are a blustering wind.

“Does a wise man answer with empty counsel or fill his belly with the hot east wind?

Are they like straw before the wind, like chaff swept away by a storm?

The east wind carries him away, and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.

When God fixed the weight of the wind and measured out the waters,

Terrors are turned loose against me; they drive away my dignity as by the wind, and my prosperity has passed like a cloud.

You snatch me up into the wind and drive me before it; You toss me about in the storm.

You whose clothes get hot when the land lies hushed under the south wind,

Now no one can gaze at the sun when it is bright in the skies after the wind has swept them clean.

In which direction is the lightning dispersed, or the east wind scattered over the earth?

Not so the wicked! For they are like chaff driven off by the wind.

On the wicked He will rain down fiery coals and sulfur; a scorching wind will be their portion.

He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind.

I ground them as dust in the face of the wind; I trampled them like mud in the streets.

May they be like chaff in the wind, as the angel of the LORD drives them away.

With a wind from the east You wrecked the ships of Tarshish.

He stirred the east wind from the heavens and drove the south wind by His might.

He stirred the east wind from the heavens and drove the south wind by His might.

Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.

…when the wind passes over, it vanishes, and its place remembers it no more.

…laying the beams of His chambers in the waters above, making the clouds His chariot, walking on the wings of the wind.

He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.

…lightning and hail, snow and clouds, powerful wind fulfilling His word,

He who brings trouble on his house will inherit the wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.

Like clouds and wind without rain is the man who boasts of gifts never given.

As the north wind brings forth rain, so a backbiting tongue brings angry looks.

…restraining her is like holding back the wind or grasping oil with one’s right hand.

Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in His hands? Who has bound up the waters in His cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is the name of His Son—surely you know!

The wind blows southward, then turns northward; round and round it swirls, ever returning on its course.

I have seen all the things that are done under the sun, and have found them all to be futile, a pursuit of the wind.

So I set my mind to know wisdom and madness and folly; I learned that this, too, is a pursuit of the wind.

Yet when I considered all the works that my hands had accomplished and what I had toiled to achieve, I found everything to be futile, a pursuit of the wind; there was nothing to be gained under the sun.

So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. For everything is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

To the man who is pleasing in His sight, He gives wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner He assigns the task of gathering and accumulating that which he will hand over to one who pleases God. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and pursuit of the wind.

There is no limit to all the people who were before them. Yet the successor will not be celebrated by those who come even later. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

This too is a grievous affliction: Exactly as a man is born, so he will depart. What does he gain as he toils for the wind?

Better what the eye can see than the wandering of desire. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

As no man has power over the wind to contain it, so no one has authority over his day of death. As no one can be discharged in wartime, so wickedness will not release those who practice it.

He who watches the wind will fail to sow, and he who observes the clouds will fail to reap.

As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the bones are formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.

Awake, O north wind, and come, O south wind. Breathe on my garden and spread the fragrance of its spices. Let my beloved come into his garden and taste its choicest fruits.

Each will be like a shelter from the wind, a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in a dry land, like the shadow of a great rock in an arid land.

You will winnow them, and a wind will carry them away; a gale will scatter them. But you will rejoice in the LORD; you will glory in the Holy One of Israel.

See, they are all a delusion; their works amount to nothing; their images are as empty as the wind.

When you cry out, let your companies of idols deliver you! Yet the wind will carry off all of them, a breath will take them away. But he who seeks refuge in Me will inherit the land and possess My holy mountain.”

Each of us has become like something unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all wither like a leaf, and our iniquities carry us away like the wind.

…a wild donkey at home in the wilderness, sniffing the wind in the heat of her desire. Who can restrain her passion? All who seek her need not weary themselves; in mating season they will find her.

At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem, “A searing wind from the barren heights in the desert blows toward the daughter of My people, but not to winnow or to sift;

Their camels will become plunder, and their large herds will be spoil. I will scatter to the wind in every direction those who shave their temples; I will bring calamity on them from all sides,” declares the LORD.

When He thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.

When the days of the siege have ended, you are to burn up a third of the hair inside the city; you are also to take a third and slash it with the sword all around the city; and you are to scatter a third to the wind. For I will unleash a sword behind them.

As a result, fathers among you will eat their sons, and sons will eat their fathers. I will execute judgments against you and scatter all your remnant to every wind.’

A third of your people will die by plague or be consumed by famine within you, a third will fall by the sword outside your walls, and a third I will scatter to every wind and unleash a sword behind them.

And I will scatter to every wind all the attendants around him and all his troops, and I will draw a sword to chase after them.

Even if it is transplanted, will it flourish? Will it not completely wither when the east wind strikes? It will wither on the bed where it sprouted.’”

All his choice troops will fall by the sword, and those who survive will be scattered to every wind. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken.’

But it was uprooted in fury, cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit. Its strong branches were stripped off and they withered; the fire consumed them.

Your oarsmen have brought you onto the high seas, but the east wind will shatter you in the heart of the sea.

Then the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold were shattered and became like chaff on the threshing floor in summer. The wind carried them away, and not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that had struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

Although he flourishes among his brothers, an east wind will come—a wind from the LORD rising up from the desert. His fountain will fail, and his spring will run dry. The wind will plunder his treasury of every precious article.

So I will kindle a fire in the walls of Rabbah to consume its citadels amid war cries on the day of battle and a violent wind on the day of tempest.
