Isaiah 27:8

By driving her away—by dismissing her, wouldest thou contend with her? He removed her by his rough wind in, a day of east wind.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

In Context

9Therefore hereby, shall a propitiatory—covering be put over the iniquity of Jacob, And all, this, is the fruit of taking away his sin,—When he maketh all the stones of an altar like chalk-stones that soon crumble, Sacred Stems and Sun Images, shall not arise.
