How frequently are they as dry stems before the wind, or as grass taken away by the storm-wind?
Is it on such a one as this that your eyes are fixed, with the purpose of judging him?
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.
