Psalms 83:13

⁵Let them be as chaff before the wind, the LORD’s angel driving them on.

¹⁸How often is it that they are as stubble before the wind, as chaff that the storm carries away?

²⁴They are planted scarcely. They are sown scarcely. Their stock has scarcely taken root in the ground. He merely blows on them, and they wither, and the whirlwind takes them away as stubble.

²⁴“Therefore I will scatter them as the stubble that passes away by the wind of the wilderness.

¹¹Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it from your chest and consume them! ¹²Yet God is my King of old, working salvation throughout the earth.

²⁵Will you harass a driven leaf? Will you pursue the dry stubble?

¹²Ah, the uproar of many peoples who roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations that rush like the rushing of mighty waters! ¹³The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters, but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far off, and will be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm. ¹⁴At evening, behold, terror! Before the morning, they are no more. This is the portion of those who plunder us, and the lot of those who rob us.

⁷In the greatness of your excellency, you overthrow those who rise up against you. You send out your wrath. It consumes them as stubble.

²Who has raised up one from the east? Who called him to his feet in righteousness? He hands over nations to him and makes him rule over kings. He gives them like the dust to his sword, like the driven stubble to his bow.

^12[+] His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.”
