Job 30:22

Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever.

We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.

A third part of you will die with the pestilence, and they will be consumed with famine within you. A third part will fall by the sword around you. A third part I will scatter to all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them.

His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.”

“Ephraim, what shall I do to you? Judah, what shall I do to you? For your love is like a morning cloud, and like the dew that disappears early.

In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.

“There is no one like God, Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens for your help, in his excellency on the skies.

Will you harass a driven leaf? Will you pursue the dry stubble?

Terrors have turned on me. They chase my honor as the wind. My welfare has passed away as a cloud.

You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.

Let them be as chaff before the wind, Yahweh’s angel driving them on.

As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

To him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old; behold, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.

My God, make them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind.

so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.

“Therefore I will scatter them, as the stubble that passes away, by the wind of the wilderness.

It is he who builds his rooms in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth; Yahweh is his name.

Yahweh is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. Yahweh has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you. Your land will be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.

Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause.”

He breaks me with breach on breach. He runs at me like a giant.

Sing to God! Sing praises to his name! Extol him who rides on the clouds: to Yah, his name! Rejoice before him!

For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen.

The burden of Egypt. “Behold, Yahweh rides on a swift cloud, and comes to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence; and the heart of Egypt will melt within it.

He will surely wind you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you shame of your lord’s house.

It will happen, when they ask you, ‘Where shall we go out?’ then you shall tell them, ‘Yahweh says: “Such as are for death, to death; such as are for the sword, to the sword; such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for captivity, to captivity.” ’

I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land. I have bereaved them of children. I have destroyed my people. They didn’t return from their ways.

I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy. I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.

Therefore the fathers will eat the sons within you, and the sons will eat their fathers. I will execute judgments on you; and I will scatter the whole remnant of you to all the winds.

Yahweh’s glory went out from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.

Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors. The wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them. The stone that struck the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

Was Yahweh displeased with the rivers? Was your anger against the rivers, or your wrath against the sea, that you rode on your horses, on your chariots of salvation?

before the appointed time when the day passes as the chaff, before the fierce anger of Yahweh comes on you, before the day of Yahweh’s anger comes on you.

But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.

But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

For Christ hasn’t entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is.

He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he was seen on the wings of the wind.

How much more, those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!

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

Notwithstanding my right I am considered a liar. My wound is incurable, though I am without disobedience.’

Yahweh reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim. Let the earth be moved.

But the multitude of your foes will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will be in an instant, suddenly.

I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.”

Yahweh says: “Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against those who dwell in Lebkamai, a destroying wind.

I will scatter toward every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his bands. I will draw out the sword after them.

Though he is fruitful among his brothers, an east wind will come, the breath of Yahweh coming up from the wilderness; and his spring will become dry, and his fountain will be dried up. He will plunder the storehouse of treasure.

For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened, not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn’t fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,

For he breaks me with a storm, and multiplies my wounds without cause.

I was at ease, and he broke me apart. Yes, he has taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces. He has also set me up for his target.

How often is it that they are as stubble before the wind, as chaff that the storm carries away?

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

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

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

Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust, because they have rejected the law of Yahweh of Armies, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

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

They are planted scarcely. They are sown scarcely. Their stock has scarcely taken root in the ground. He merely blows on them, and they wither, and the whirlwind takes them away as stubble.

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

“ ‘Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “I will even tear it with a stormy wind in my wrath. There will be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it.

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

Therefore they will be like the morning mist, 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.

For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, they are consumed utterly like dry stubble.

The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”

For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.
