The time had come for the LORD to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind. Elijah and Elisha were traveling from Gilgal,

As they continued walking and talking, a chariot of fire with horses of fire suddenly appeared and separated the two of them. Then Elijah went up into heaven in the whirlwind.

Then the LORD answered Job from the whirlwind. He said:

Then the LORD answered Job from the whirlwind:

“I would hurry to my shelter

from the raging wind and the storm.”

so pursue them with your tempest

and terrify them with your storm.

He spoke and raised a stormy wind

that stirred up the waves of the sea.[fn]

He stilled the storm to a whisper,

and the waves of the sea were hushed.

lightning[fn] and hail, snow and cloud,

stormy wind that executes his command,

you will be punished by the LORD of Armies

with thunder, earthquake, and loud noise,

storm, tempest, and a flame of consuming fire.

They are barely planted, barely sown,

their stem hardly takes root in the ground

when he blows on them and they wither,

and a whirlwind carries them away like stubble.

You will winnow them

and a wind will carry them away,

a whirlwind will scatter them.

But you will rejoice in the LORD;

you will boast in the Holy One of Israel.

Look, a storm from the LORD!

Wrath has gone out,

a whirling storm.

It will whirl about the heads of the wicked.

“This is what the LORD of Armies says:

Pay attention! Disaster spreads

from nation to nation.

A huge storm is stirred up

from the ends of the earth.”

Look, a storm from the LORD!

Wrath has gone out,

a churning storm.

It will whirl about the heads of the wicked.

I looked, and there was a whirlwind coming from the north, a huge cloud with fire flashing back and forth and brilliant light all around it. In the center of the fire, there was a gleam like amber.

therefore, tell those plastering it with whitewash that it will fall. Torrential rain will come, and I will send hailstones plunging[fn] down, and a whirlwind will be released.

“ ‘So this is what the Lord GOD says: I will release a whirlwind in my wrath. Torrential rain will come in my anger, and hailstones will fall in destructive fury.

Therefore, I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah,

and it will consume its citadels.

There will be shouting on the day of battle

and a violent wind on the day of the storm.

But the LORD threw a great wind onto the sea, and such a great storm arose on the sea that the ship threatened to break apart.

He answered them, “Pick me up and throw me into the sea so that it will calm down for you, for I know that I’m to blame for this great storm that is against you.”

Then the LORD will appear over them,

and his arrow will fly like lightning.

The Lord GOD will sound the ram’s horn

and advance with the southern storms.
