SCRIPTURE

"The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it turneth about continually in its course, and the wind returneth again to its circuits." — Ecclesiastes 1:6 (ASV)

More literally, Going toward the south and veering toward the north, veering, veering goes the wind; and to its veerings the wind returns.
