NETBible

How often 1  are they like straw before the wind, and like chaff swept away 2  by a whirlwind?

NET Notes

tn To retain the sense that the wicked do not suffer as others, this verse must either be taken as a question or a continuation of the question in v. 17.

tn The verb used actually means “rob.” It is appropriate to the image of a whirlwind suddenly taking away the wisp of straw.
