The east wind lifts him up and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.
Let him rain coals on the wicked; fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
so may you pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your hurricane!
Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of thorns, whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away!
That they are like straw before the wind, and like chaff that the storm carries away?
he returns no more to his house, nor does his place know him anymore.
And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and the Lord will by no means clear the guilty. His way is in whirlwind and storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. He rebukes the sea and makes it dry; he dries up all the rivers; Bashan and Carmel wither; the bloom of Lebanon withers. The mountains quake before him; the hills melt; the earth heaves before him, the world and all who dwell in it. Who can stand before his indignation? Who can endure the heat of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken into pieces by him. The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him.
Though he may flourish among his brothers, the east wind, the wind of the Lord, shall come, rising from the wilderness, and his fountain shall dry up; his spring shall be parched; it shall strip his treasury of every precious thing.
Like the east wind I will scatter them before the enemy. I will show them my back, not my face, in the day of their calamity.”
Then Moses stretched out his staff toward heaven, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down to the earth. And the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt. There was hail and fire flashing continually in the midst of the hail, very heavy hail, such as had never been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. The hail struck down everything that was in the field in all the land of Egypt, both man and beast. And the hail struck down every plant of the field and broke every tree of the field.
