And upon them that are left {alive} of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth. {shaken: Heb. driven}

They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away. {carrieth: Heb. stealeth}

The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but {God} shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind. {a rolling...: or, thistledown}

After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.

A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?

They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away. {carrieth: Heb. stealeth}

What {is} my strength, that I should hope? and what {is} mine end, that I should prolong my life?

Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me. {become...: Heb. turned to be cruel} {thy...: Heb. the strength of thy hand}

And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
