- The wind:
- This verse should be connected with the preceding, and rendered, "The sun also riseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose; going toward the south, and turning about unto the north. The wind whirleth about continually," etc. Alluding, in the former part, to the apparent daily motion of the sun from east to west, and to his annual course through the signs of the zodiac. "Out of¹ the southª comethª° the whirlwind:ª and coldª out of the north.ª¹" {Job 37:9} + "How¹ thy garmentsª [are] warm,ª when he quietethª° the earthª by the southª¹ [wind]?" {Job 37:17} + "For he commandeth,ª° and raisethª° the stormyª wind,ª which lifteth upª° the wavesª thereof." {Psa 107:25} + "He makethª° the stormª a calm,ª so that the wavesª thereof are still.ª°" {Psa 107:29} + "But the LORDª sent outª° a greatª windª into¹ the sea,ª and there was¹ a mightyª tempestª in the sea,ª so that the shipª was likeª° to be broken.ª°" {Jna 1:4} + "Thereforeª whosoeverªª hearethª° theseª sayingsª of mine,ª andª doethª° them,ª I will likenª° himª unto a wiseª man,ª whichª builtª° his²¹ houseª uponª a rock:ª" {Mtt 7:24} + "Andª the¹ rainª descended,ª° andª the¹ floods²¹ came,ª° andª the¹ windsª blew,ª° andª beat uponª° thatª house;ª andª it fell:ª° andª greatª wasª° the¹ fallª of it.ª" {Mtt 7:27} + "The¹ windª blowethª° whereª it listeth,ª° andª thou hearestª° the¹ soundª thereof,ª butª canst²° not² tellª°¹ whenceª it cometh,ª° andª whitherª it goeth:ª° soª isª° every oneª that is bornª° ofª the¹ Spirit.ª" {Jhn 3:8} + "Andª when the south windª blew softly,ª° supposingª° that they had obtainedª° [their] purpose,ª loosingª°¹ [thence], they sailed²° close by²¹ Crete.ª ... Andª when the¹ shipª was caught,ª° andª couldª° notª bear up¹ into²° the¹ wind,ª we let [her] drive.ªª°°" {Act 27:13-15}
