(NIV)
‘“As for those of you who are left, I will make their hearts so fearful in the lands of their enemies that the sound of a wind-blown leaf will put them to flight. They will run as though fleeing from the sword, and they will fall, even though no one is pursuing them.
And as for those of you who are
left,
I will
send faintness into their
hearts in the
lands of their
enemies. The
sound of a
driven leaf shall
put them to
flight, and they shall
flee as one
flees from the
sword, and they shall
fall when none pursues.
(NIV)
Will you torment a wind-blown leaf?
Will you chase after dry chaff?
Will you
frighten a
driven leafand
pursue dry chaff?
(NIV)
By his breath the skies became fair;
his hand pierced the gliding serpent.
By his
wind the
heavens were made
fair;
his
hand pierced the
fleeing serpent.
(NIV)
On the wicked he will rain
fiery coals and burning sulphur;
a scorching wind will be their lot.
Let him
rain coals on the
wicked;
fire and
sulfur and a
scorching wind shall be the
portion of
their cup.
(NIV)
To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
For to the
one who
pleases him God has
given wisdom and
knowledge and
joy, but to the
sinner he has
given the
business of
gathering and
collecting,
only to
give to one who
pleases God.
This also is
vanity and a
striving after
wind.
(NIV)
See, the Lord has one who is powerful and strong.
Like a hailstorm and a destructive wind,
like a driving rain and a flooding downpour,
he will throw it forcefully to the ground.
Behold, the
Lord has one who is
mighty and
strong;
like a
storm of
hail, a
destroying tempest,
like a
storm of
mighty,
overflowing waters,
he
casts down to the
earth with his
hand.
(NIV)
‘Who has stirred up one from the east,
calling him in righteousness to his service?
He hands nations over to him
and subdues kings before him.
He turns them to dust with his sword,
to wind-blown chaff with his bow.
Who stirred up one
from the
eastwhom
victory meets at every
step?
He gives
up nations before him,
so that he
tramples kings underfoot;
he
makes them like
dust with his
sword,
like
driven stubble with
his bow.
(NIV)
even though he thrives among his brothers.
An east wind from the
Lord will come,
blowing in from the desert;
his spring will fail
and his well dry up.
His storehouse will be plundered
of all its treasures.
Though he may
flourish among his
brothers,
the
east wind, the
wind of the
Lord, shall
come,
rising from the
wilderness,
and his
fountain shall
dry up;
his
spring shall be
parched;
it shall
strip his
treasuryof
every precious thing.
(NIV)
And when the south wind blows, you say, “It’s going to be hot,” and it is.
(ESV)
And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be scorching heat,’ and it happens.
(NIV)
A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough.
The sea became rough because a
strong wind was
blowing.
(NIV)
Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
And suddenly there
came from heaven a
sound like a
mighty rushing wind,
and it
filled the
entire house where they
were sitting.
(NIV)
From there we set sail and arrived at Rhegium. The next day the south wind came up, and on the following day we reached Puteoli.
And from
there we made a
circuit and
arrived at Rhegium.
And after one day a
south wind sprang up, and on the
second day we
came to Puteoli.
(NIV)
Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.
so
that we may
no longer be children,
tossed to and fro by the
waves and carried about by
every wind of
doctrine,
by human cunning,
by craftiness in deceitful schemes.
(NIV)
But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
But let him
ask in faith,
with
no doubting,
for the one who
doubts is
like a
wave of the
sea that is driven and
tossed by the
wind.
(NIV)
These people are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm – shepherds who feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted – twice dead.
These are hidden reefs at your love feasts, as they
feast with
you without fear,
shepherds feeding themselves;
waterless clouds,
swept along
by winds;
fruitless trees in
late autumn,
twice dead,
uprooted;
(NIV)
After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree.
After this I
saw four angels standing at the
four corners of the
earth,
holding back the
four winds of the
earth,
that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree.
