The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
(Job 21:18; Hosea 13:3; cf. Matthew 3:12.) In the East threshing floors are placed on a height; the threshed grain is thrown aloft for the wind to carry the chaff away.
The ungodly are not so - the negation of all that characterizes the righteous; saying more than the most detailed description. "Not so" in character; "not so" in destiny (DeBurgh).
