Job 30:22
You snatch me up into the wind and drive me before it; You toss me about in the storm.
BSB
ASV
Thou liftest me up to the wind, thou causest me to ride upon it; And thou dissolvest me in the storm.
KJV
Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.
Thou liftest me up to the wind - Thou hast so completely stripped me of all my substance, that I am like chaff lifted up by the wind; or as a straw, the sport of every breeze; and at last carried totally away, being dissipated into particles by the continued agitation.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
