²⁵ Will you be hard on a leaf in flight before the wind? will you make a dry stem go more quickly on its way?

³⁶ And as for the rest of you, I will make their hearts feeble in the land of their haters, and the sound of a leaf moved by the wind will send them in flight, and they will go in flight as from the sword, falling down when no one comes after them;

¹⁸ How frequently are they as dry stems before the wind, or as grass taken away by the storm-wind?

¹⁴ There is an old saying, From the evil-doer comes evil: but my hand will never be lifted up against you.

³ Is it on such a one as this that your eyes are fixed, with the purpose of judging him?

¹³ But he will put a stop to them, and make them go in flight far away, driving them like the waste of the grain on the tops of the mountains before the wind, and like the circling dust before the storm.

²⁰ The crushed stem will not be broken by him; and the feebly burning light will he not put out, till he has made righteousness overcome all.
