Song of Solomon II

11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain in over and gone;

12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle dove is heard in our land;

The Holy Bible, Authorized King James Version, The World Publishing Company, Cleveland and New York.

German translation:

11 Denn siehe, der Winter ist vergangen, der Regen ist weg und dahin;

12 die Blumen sind hervorgekommen im Lande, der Lenz ist herbeigekommen, und die Turteltaube lässt sich hören in unserem Lande;

French translation:

12 Les fleurs paraissent sur la terre, Le temps de chanter est arrivé, Et la voix de la tourterelle se fait entendre dans nos campagnes.

Isaiah XXIX

4 And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.

5 Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.

6 Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

Jeremiah XXV

30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The Lord shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.

31 A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the Lord hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the Lord.

36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the Lord hath spoiled their pasture.

The Holy Bible, Authorized King James Version, The World Publishing Company, Cleveland and New York.
