Do ye think to reprove words, Seeing that the speeches of one that is desperate are as wind?

How long wilt thou speak these things? And how long'shall the words of thy mouth be like a mighty wind?

Should a wise man make answer with vain knowledge, And fill himself with the east wind?

The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth; And it sweepeth him out of his place.

To make a weight for the wind: Yea, he meteth out the waters by measure.

Terrors are turned upon me; They chase mine honor as the wind; And my welfare is passed away as a cloud.

Thou liftest me up to the wind, thou causest me to ride upon it ; And thou dissolvest me in the storm.

How thy garments are warm, When the earth is still by reason of the south wind ?

And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind passeth, and cleareth them.

By what way is the light parted, Or the east wind scattered upon the earth?
