This East Wind, especially in those Countries, it is noted to be a very hurtful Wind; exceedingly hurtful to 1man and beast; and so we have a proverb of the East Wind, The East wind blows neither good to man nor beast; but more especially in that Country. So we find it in Scripture, in Gen. 41. 6. the text saith, The seven thin Ears that Pharaoh saw of Corn that came up, but were blasted with the East wind, and in Ezek 17. 10. Shall it not wither when the East wind toucheth it? and in Job, 15. 2. Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the East wind? When you see men talk and utter vain things, they do but seek to fill their bellies with the East wind. The East wind was so hurtful because there came a heat of the Sun that made it dry and scorching in those 2Countries; and therefore the Septuagint translate this, the scorching Wind, for the burning and heat of it. And 3the vulgar Latin likewise, renders it, Heat.
