Strong's King James
The ruach (wind) blows where it wants, and you hear its sound, but you don’t know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the רוּחַ Ruach.
The F.O.G
[8] Consider the wind - it blows wherever it wishes. You hear its sound, but you can't tell where it comes from or where it's going. This is how it is with everyone born of the Spirit - there's mystery in the process, but the results are undeniable."
For the wind blows where it wants. You can hear its sound, but you don’t know where it comes from or where it is going. This is the way of the Spirit and how it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
the Spirit where he willeth doth blow, and his voice thou dost hear, but thou hast not known whence he cometh, and whither he goeth; thus is every one who hath been born of the Spirit.’
Young's Literal Translation
