Are you trying to frighten me? I'm nothing but a leaf; you are attacking a piece of dry straw.

In majestic triumph you overthrow your foes; your anger blazes out and burns them up like straw.

But evil people are not like this at all; they are like straw that the wind blows away.

May they be like straw blown by the wind as the angel of the LORD pursues them!

Scatter them like dust, O God, like straw blown away by the wind.

So now, just as straw and dry grass shrivel and burn in the fire, your roots will rot and your blossoms will dry up and blow away, because you have rejected what the LORD Almighty, Israel's holy God, has taught us.

The nations advance like rushing waves, but God reprimands them and they retreat, driven away like dust on a mountainside, like straw in a whirlwind.

Jerusalem, all the foreigners who attack you will be blown away like dust, and their terrifying armies will fly away like straw. Suddenly and unexpectedly

They are like young plants, just set out and barely rooted. When the LORD sends a wind, they dry up and blow away like straw.

I will make you like a threshing board, with spikes that are new and sharp. You will thresh mountains and destroy them; hills will crumble into dust.

You will toss them in the air; the wind will carry them off, and they will be scattered by the storm. Then you will be happy because I am your God; you will praise me, the holy God of Israel.

The LORD will scatter you like straw that is blown away by the desert wind.

And so these people will disappear like morning mist, like the dew that vanishes early in the day. They will be like chaff which the wind blows from the threshing place, like smoke from a chimney.

Like tangled thorns and dry straw you drunkards will be burned up!

He has his winnowing shovel with him to thresh out all the grain. He will gather his wheat into his barn, but he will burn the chaff in a fire that never goes out."
