Thematic Bible: Sudden destruction of the wicked
Thematic Bible
Whirlwind » Illustrative of the » Sudden destruction of the wicked
He rebukes them, and they flee far away,
driven before the wind like chaff on the hills
and like tumbleweeds before a gale.
and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
when trouble and stress overcome you.
their stem hardly takes root in the ground
when He blows on them and they wither,
and a whirlwind carries them away like stubble.
Wrath has gone out,
a churning storm.
It will whirl about the heads of the wicked.
whether green or burning—
He will sweep them away.
and a wind will carry them away,
a gale will scatter them.
But you will rejoice in the Lord;
you will boast in the Holy One of Israel.
