⁶ The wind goes to the south, turning back again to the north; circling round for ever.

⁸ The wind goes where its pleasure takes it, and the sound of it comes to your ears, but you are unable to say where it comes from and where it goes: so it is with everyone whose birth is from the Spirit.

¹³ And when the south wind came softly, being of the opinion that their purpose might be effected, they let the ship go and went sailing down the side of Crete, very near to the land.

¹⁴ But after a little time, a very violent wind, named Euraquilo, came down from it with great force.

¹⁵ And when the ship got into the grip of it, and was not able to make headway into the wind, we gave way, and went before it.

²⁷ And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house; and it came down and great was its fall.

²⁴ Everyone, then, to whom my words come and who does them, will be like a wise man who made his house on a rock;

⁴ And the Lord sent out a great wind on to the sea and there was a violent storm in the sea, so that the ship seemed in danger of being broken.

⁵ As you have no knowledge of the way of the wind, or of the growth of the bones in the body of her who is with child, even so you have no knowledge of the works of God who has made all.

²⁹ He makes the storm into a calm, so that the waves are at peace.

²⁵ For at his word comes up the storm-wind, lifting high the waves.

¹⁷ You, whose clothing is warm, when the earth is quiet because of the south wind,

⁹ Out of its place comes the storm-wind, and the cold out of its store-houses.
