And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.

Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:

For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.

Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?

O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.

Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?

He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.

In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.

Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?

That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?

He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.

Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?

My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.

My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.

They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.

By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;

To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.

Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.

Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.

But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.

The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;

And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.

One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.

O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?

If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.

Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:

Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
