So now, if it seems good to the king, let search be made in the king's store-house at Babylon, to see if it is true that an order was given by Cyrus the king for the building of this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send us word of his pleasure in connection with this business.

With three lines of great stones and one line of new wood supports; and let the necessary money be given out of the king's store-house;

Lifting me up, you make me go on the wings of the wind; I am broken up by the storm.

If I was glad because my wealth was great, and because my hand had got together a great store;

Out of its place comes the storm-wind, and the cold out of its store-houses.

And the Lord made answer to Job out of the storm-wind, and said,

Which is the way to the resting-place of the light, and where is the store-house of the dark;

Will the ox of the mountains be your servant? or is his night's resting-place by your food-store?

I would quickly take cover from the driving storm and from the violent wind.

The voice of your thunder went rolling on; the world was flaming with the light of the storm; the earth was shaking.

Opening my mouth I will give out a story, even the dark sayings of old times;

Will the story of your mercy be given in the house of the dead? will news of your faith come to the place of destruction?

You have rule over the sea in storm; when its waves are troubled, you make them calm.

When your fear comes on you like a storm, and your trouble like a rushing wind; when pain and sorrow come on you.

So your store-houses will be full of grain, and your vessels overflowing with new wine.

Have no fear of sudden danger, or of the storm which will come on evil-doers:

Let water from your store and not that of others be your drink, and running water from your fountain.

So that I may give my lovers wealth for their heritage, making their store-houses full.

And a shade in the daytime from the heat, and a safe cover from storm and from rain.

Their arrows are sharp, and every bow is bent: the feet of their horses are like rock, and their wheels are like a rushing storm.

But he will put a stop to them, and make them go in flight far away, driving them like the waste of the grain on the tops of the mountains before the wind, and like the circling dust before the storm.

Your anger against her has been made clear by driving her away; he has taken her away with his storm-wind in the day of his east wind.

When has such a story come to men's ears? who has seen such things? will a land come to birth in one day? will a nation be given birth in a minute? For when Zion's pains came on her, she gave birth to her children straight away.

For the Lord is coming with fire, and his war-carriages will be like the storm-wind; to give punishment in the heat of his wrath, and his passion is like flames of fire.

See, he will come up like the clouds, and his war-carriages like the storm-wind: his horses are quicker than eagles. Sorrow is ours, for destruction has come on us.

Truly, the stork in the heavens is conscious of her fixed times; the dove and the swallow and the crane keep to the times of their coming; but my people have no knowledge of the law of the Lord.
