From the stormy wind and from the tempest.”

And terrify them with [the violence of] Your storm.

For He spoke and raised up a stormy wind,

Which lifted up the waves of the sea.

He hushed the storm to a gentle whisper,

So that the waves of the sea were still.

Lightning and hail, snow and fog;

Stormy wind, fulfilling His orders;

You will be punished by the LORD of hosts with thunder and earthquake and great noise,

With whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a consuming fire.

Scarcely have they been sown,

Scarcely has their stock taken root in the earth,

But He merely blows on them, and they wither,

And a strong wind carries them away like stubble.

“You will winnow them, and the wind will carry them away,

And a high wind will scatter them;

But you will rejoice in the LORD,

You will glory in the Holy One of Israel.

“Behold, the tempest of the LORD has gone forth in wrath,

A whirling tempest;

It will whirl and burst on the heads of the wicked.

Thus says the LORD of hosts,

“Behold, evil is going forth

From nation to nation,

And a great whirling tempest is rising

From the remotest part of the earth.

Behold, the tempest of the LORD!

Wrath has gone forth,

A sweeping and gathering tempest;

It will burst on the head of the wicked.

And it shall devour its strongholds

Amid war cries and shouts of alarm on the day of battle,

But the LORD hurled a great wind toward the sea, and there was a violent tempest on the sea so that the ship was about to break up.

Then the LORD will be seen [hovering] over them [protecting His people],

And His arrow will go forth like lightning;

And the Lord GOD will blow the trumpet

And will march in the windstorms of the south.
