18 How often are they like straw before the wind,

like chaff swept away by a gale?

18 They are as stubble before the wind,

And as chaff that the storm carrieth away.

18 Are they driven before the wind like straw?

Are they carried away by the storm like chaff?

Not at all!

18 They are like straw before the wind,

And like chaff that a storm carries away.

18 How often are they like straw in the wind

or like chaff that is blown away by a storm?

18 That they are as stubble before the wind,

And as chaff that the storm carrieth away?

18 Do they become as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away?

18 How often are they like straw in the wind 

or like husks that the storm sweeps away? 

18 Are they like straw before the wind,

like chaff a storm sweeps away?

18 How often are they like straw before the wind,

and like chaff that the storm carries away?

18 How often are they like straw before the wind,

and like chaff that the storm carries away?

18 How often are they like dried-up seed coverings blowing in the wind?

How often are they like straw swept away by a storm?

18 “Are they as straw before the wind,

And like chaff which the storm carries away?
