Sown the wind — A proverbial speech to denote lost labour. Whirlwind — A tempest, which destroyeth all that is in its way; an emblem of the wrath of God. No stalk — All your dependance on idols, and foreign assistance, will be as seed that bear neither stalk nor bud. No meal — Or suppose it produced stalk and bud, yet the bud shall be blasted, and never yield meal.
