Key Passages
The LORD will turn the rain of your land into dust and powder; it will descend on you from the sky until you are destroyed.
It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on man and beast throughout the land.”
Verse text unavailable
But your many foes will be like fine dust,the multitude of the ruthless like blowing chaff.Then suddenly, in an instant,
Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes the straw,and as dry grass shrivels in the flame,so their roots will decayand their blossoms will blow away like dust;for they have rejected the instruction of the LORD of Hostsand despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
