^18 (A)They are like straw before the wind,
And like chaff that a storm ^[a]carries away.

^5 (A)Let them be like chaff before the wind,
And let the ^[a]angel of the Lord chase them.

³ Therefore they shall be like the morning cloud
And like the early dew that passes away,
^(A)Like chaff blown off from a threshing floor
And like smoke from a chimney.

¹³ The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters;
But God will ^(A)rebuke them and they will flee far away,
And ^(B)be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind,
Like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
