The nations shall crash like the crashing of many waters, but He rebukes it, and it flees far away; yea, it is pursued like the chaff of mountains before the wind, and like a whirling thing before a tempest.
And the host of ones estranged to you shall be as fine powder, and as chaff passing, the host of terrifying ones; and it will happen suddenly, instantly;
Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they are not sown; yea, their stem is not taking root in the earth. And He also blows on them, and they shall wither, and the tempest shall lift them up like stubble.
Therefore, as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and the dry grass falls in the flame; their root shall be like rottenness, and their blossoms shall go up like dust, because they have rejected the Law of Jehovah of Hosts; and despised the Word of the Holy One of Israel.
So they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passes away, as chaff stormed away from the threshingfloor, and as the smoke out of the window.
He stood and measured the earth; He looked and nations trembled; and the ancient mountains were shattered; the hills of old; the goings of antiquity bowed down to Him.
whose fan is in His hand, and He will cleanse His threshing-floor and will gather His wheat into the storehouse. But He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
