Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
(Leviticus 26:36; Psalms 1:4). Job compares himself to a leaf already fallen, which the storm still chases here and there.
Break - literally, shake with (thy) terrors. Jesus Christ does not "break the bruised reed" (Isaiah 42:3; Isaiah 27:8).
