like chaff the storm carries away!
Hosea 13:3

3 Therefore, they will be like a morning cloud
or like the dew that vanishes with the dawn,
Like chaff storm-driven from the threshing floor(A)
or like smoke out of the window.

and like drunkards, they are drunk;
like dry stubble, they are utterly consumed.
