2  ⁿAs smoke is driven away, so you shall drive them away;

as wax melts before fire,

so the wicked shall perish before God!

3  For my days pass away like ^bsmoke,

and my ^cbones burn like a furnace.

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.
