13:25 Do you wish to torment 1 a windblown 2 leaf
and chase after dry chaff? 3
2:22 Stop trusting in human beings,
whose life’s breath is in their nostrils.
For why should they be given special consideration?
41:2 Who stirs up this one from the east? 4
Who 5 officially commissions him for service? 6
He hands nations over to him, 7
and enables him to subdue 8 kings.
He makes them like dust with his sword,
like windblown straw with his bow. 9
41:15 “Look, I am making you like 10 a sharp threshing sledge,
new and double-edged. 11
You will thresh the mountains and crush them;
you will make the hills like straw. 12
41:16 You will winnow them and the wind will blow them away;
the wind will scatter them.
You will rejoice in the Lord;
you will boast in the Holy One of Israel.
