John 3:8

The wind [1] blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Ecclesiastes 11:5

As you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones in the womb [2] of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.

Ezekiel 37:9

Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”

Translation Notes
