Mazmur 68:2

68:2 As smoke is driven away by the wind, so you drive them away. ¹ 

As wax melts before fire,

so the wicked are destroyed before God.

Yesaya 13:14

13:14 Like a frightened gazelle ² 

or a sheep with no shepherd,

each will turn toward home, ³ 

each will run to his homeland.

¹ tn Heb “as smoke is scattered, you scatter [them].”

² tn Or “like a gazelle being chased.” The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

³ tn Heb “his people” (cf. KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV) or “his nation” (cf. TEV “their own countries”).
