Isaiah17:13
13. shall ... shall--rather, "God rebuketh (Psa 9:5) them, and they flee--are chased"; the event is set before the eyes as actually present, not future.
chaff of ... mountains--Threshing floors in the East are in the open air on elevated places, so as to catch the wind which separates the chaff from the wheat (Psa 88:13; Ho 13:3).
rolling thing--anything that rolls: stubble.
