In Hebrew shuwb {shoob} means
to return, turn back
come or go back
to bring back, .....
No hasten or hasteth is listed in the lexicon

In Hebrew ruwach {roo'-akh} means:
breath, wind, spirit (as that which breathes quickly in animation or
agitation), spirit (of the living, breathing being in man and animals),
spirit (as seat of emotion), spirit, Spirit of God
Obviously many meanings, but usually not the impersonal and physical wind.
Pax Christi,
Robert
