Job 21:18

18. Job alludes to a like sentiment of Bildad (Job 18:18), using his own previous words (Job 13:25).

Matthew 7:27

27. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house—struck against that house;

and it fell: and great was the fall of it—terrible the ruin! How lively must this imagery have been to an audience accustomed to the fierceness of an Eastern tempest, and the suddenness and completeness with which it sweeps everything unsteady before it!
