And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people, since they return not from their ways. I will fan them with a fan - There is no pure grain; all is chaff.
In the gates of the land - The places of public justice: and there it shall be seen that the judgments that have fallen upon them have been highly merited. And from these places of fanning they shall go out into their captivity.
