For English speakers: After these things, I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that they should not blow upon the earth, nor upon the sea, nor on any tree [Apocalypse (Revelation) 7:1], this involves a wooden translation. In idiomatic English, the usual word for dry land masses as opposed to sea(s) is "land" rather than "earth".
