Key Passages
The bulrushes by the Nile,by the mouth of the river,and all the fields sown along the Nile,will wither, blow away, and be no more.
Who has aroused one from the eastand called him to his feet in righteousness ?He hands nations over to himand subdues kings before him.He turns them to dust with his sword,to windblown chaff with his bow.
Would You frighten a windblown leaf?Would You chase after dry chaff?
So do not claim, ‘We have found wisdom;let God, not man, refute him.’
As for those of you who survive, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, so that even the sound of a windblown leaf will put them to flight. And they will flee as one flees the sword, and fall when no one pursues them.
