This quote is originally from Hosea 8:7 (King James Version); full verse:

"For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up"

Actually, I believe the question is relative to the 2nd world war. Specifically, the Air Marshall was the head of Britain's Bomber Command, one Arthur "Bomber" Harris. He was, of course, quoting the above passage from The Bible.
