²² You lift me up to the wind, and drive me with it. You dissolve me in the storm.

²¹ The east wind carries him away, and he departs; It sweeps him out of his place.

³ Therefore they will be like the morning cloud, And like the dew that passes away early, Like the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing floor, And like the smoke out of the chimney.

¹⁹ The wind has wrapped her up in its wings; And they shall be disappointed because of their sacrifices.

² A third part shall you burn in the fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled; and you shall take a third part, and strike with the sword round about it; and a third part you shall scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.

¹¹ At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A hot wind from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to winnow, nor to cleanse;

¹² a full wind from these shall come for me: now will I also utter judgments against them.

¹³ The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but he shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.

³ He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.

¹⁰ He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.

⁴ The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

¹⁸ That they are as stubble before the wind, As chaff that the storm carries away?

¹⁷ For he breaks me with a tempest, Multiplies my wounds without cause.
