Genesis 49:4

4 Unstable as water, you shall not have preeminence,
because you ^awent up to your father’s bed;
then you defiled it—he went up to my couch!

2 Corinthians 1:17-20

17 Was I vacillating when I wanted to do this? Do I make my plans ^baccording to the flesh, ready to say “Yes, yes” and “No, no” at the same time? 18 As surely as ^cGod is faithful, ^dour word to you has not been Yes and No. 19 For ^ethe Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we proclaimed among you, ^fSilvanus and Timothy and I, was not Yes and No, but ^gin him it is always Yes. 20 For ^hall the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our ⁱAmen to God for his glory.

Ephesians 4:14

14 so that we may no longer be children, ^jtossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in ^kdeceitful schemes.

James 1:6-8

6 But ^llet him ask in faith, ^mwith no doubting, for the one who doubts is like ⁿa wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 ^ohe is a double-minded man, ^punstable in all his ways.

2 Peter 2:17

17 ^qThese are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. ^rFor them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved.

2 Peter 3:17

17 You therefore, beloved, ^sknowing this beforehand, ^ttake care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability.
