'Chaff' in the Bible
Are they like straw before the wind,like chaff a storm sweeps away?
The wicked are not like this;instead, they are like chaff that the wind blows away.
The nations rage like the raging of many waters.He rebukes them, and they flee far away,driven before the wind like chaff on the hillsand like tumbleweeds before a gale.
Your many foes will be like fine dust,and many of the ruthless, like blowing chaff.Then suddenly, in an instant,
You will conceive chaff;you will give birth to stubble.Your breath is fire that will consume you.
See, I will make you into a sharp threshing board,new, with many teeth.You will thresh mountains and pulverize themand make hills into chaff.
I will scatter you like drifting chaffbefore the desert wind.
Then the iron, the fired clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were shattered and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors. The wind carried them away, and not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
Therefore, they will be like the morning mist,like the early dew that vanishes,like chaff blown from a threshing floor,or like smoke from a window.
before the decree takes effectand the day passes like chaff,before the burning of the Lord’s anger overtakes you,before the day of the Lord’s anger overtakes you.
His winnowing shovel is in His hand, and He will clear His threshing floor and gather His wheat into the barn. But the chaff He will burn up with fire that never goes out.”
His winnowing shovel is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and gather the wheat into His barn, but the chaff He will burn up with a fire that never goes out.”
