18  That they are like straw before the wind,

and like chaff that the storm carries away?

4  The wicked are not so,

but are like chaff that the wind drives away.

13  The nations roar like the roaring of many waters,

but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far away,

chased like chaff on the mountains before the wind

and whirling dust before the storm.

24  I will scatter you¹ like chaff

driven by the wind from the desert.

3  Therefore they shall be ^wlike the morning mist

or like the dew that goes early away,

like the chaff that swirls from the threshing floor

or like smoke from a window.
