Do ye imagine to reprove words? The speeches of one that is desperate are indeed for the wind.

Remember thou that my life is wind; mine eye shall no more see good.

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

Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind,

Shall words of wind have an end? or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?

Do they become as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away?

The east wind carrieth him away and he is gone; and as a storm it hurleth him out of his place.

In making a weight for the wind, and meting out the waters by measure,

Terrors are turned against me; they pursue mine honour as the wind; and my welfare is passed away like a cloud.

How thy garments become warm when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?

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