¹⁸ Are they driven before the wind like straw?
    Are they carried away by the storm like chaff?
    Not at all!

⁴ But not the wicked!
    They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.

¹³ O my God, scatter them like tumbleweed,
    like chaff before the wind!

⁵ Blow them away like chaff in the wind—
    a wind sent by the angel of the Lord.

¹³ But though they thunder like breakers on a beach,
    God will silence them, and they will run away.
They will flee like chaff scattered by the wind,
    like a tumbleweed whirling before a storm.

⁵ “But suddenly, your ruthless enemies will be crushed
    like the finest of dust.
Your many attackers will be driven away
    like chaff before the wind.
Suddenly, in an instant,

¹⁰ His enemies, tangled like thornbushes
    and staggering like drunks,
    will be burned up like dry stubble in a field.
