| 1 | All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire," says the LORD Almighty. | |
| 2 | Will you torment a windblown leaf? Will you chase after dry chaff? | |
| 3 | The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble. | |
| 4 | Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble? | |
| 5 | So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw. |
