'Wind' in the Bible
The wind goes to the south, turning back again to the north; circling round for ever.
I have seen all the works which are done under the sun; all is to no purpose, and desire for wind.
And I gave my heart to getting knowledge of wisdom, and of the ways of the foolish. And I saw that this again was desire for wind.
Then I saw all the works which my hands had made, and everything I had been working to do; and I saw that all was to no purpose and desire for wind, and there was no profit under the sun.
So I was hating life, because everything under the sun was evil to me: all is to no purpose and desire for wind.
To the man with whom he is pleased, God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy; but to the sinner he gives the work of getting goods together and storing up wealth, to give to him in whom God has pleasure. This again is to no purpose and desire for wind.
And I saw that the cause of all the work and of everything which is done well was man's envy of his neighbour. This again is to no purpose and a desire for wind.
One hand full of rest is better than two hands full of trouble and desire for wind.
There was no end of all the people, of all those whose head he was, but they who come later will have no delight in him. This again is to no purpose and desire for wind.
And this again is a great evil, that in all points as he came so will he go; and what profit has he in working for the wind?
In wind it came and to the dark it will go, and with the dark will its name be covered.
What the eyes see is better than the wandering of desire. This is to no purpose and a desire for wind.
No man has authority over the wind, to keep the wind; or is ruler over the day of his death. In war no man's time is free, and evil will not keep the sinner safe.
He who is watching the wind will not get the seed planted, and he who is looking at the clouds will not get in the grain.
As you have no knowledge of the way of the wind, or of the growth of the bones in the body of her who is with child, even so you have no knowledge of the works of God who has made all.
