Will you frighten a driven leaf and pursue dry chaff?
That they are like straw before the wind, and like chaff that the storm carries away?
And as for those of you who are left, I will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a driven leaf shall put them to flight, and they shall flee as one flees from the sword, and they shall fall when none pursues.
a bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not quench, until he brings justice to victory;
The nations roar like the roaring of many waters, but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far away, chased like chaff on the mountains before the wind and whirling dust before the storm.
And do you open your eyes on such a one and bring me into judgment with you?
After whom has the king of Israel come out? After whom do you pursue? After a dead dog! After a flea!
