Study H5045 →Cross References
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?
For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
