Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase [them].
Ver. 5. Let them be as chaff] Facti sint a corde suo fugitivi, let them fly before their own consciences, restless and uncertain whither to turn themselves.
And let the angel of the Lord chase them] It may be understood both of the evil angels and of the good, ready at God's command to do execution upon his enemies. Chaff driven before the wind may rest against a wall; but where shall they rest who are chased by an angel? "Where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?" 1 Peter 4:18. Surely nowhere.
