The refuse of threshed and winnowed grain — the husk of the wheat. Used symbolically for that which is quickly consumed, or easily swept away by the wind — worthless people. Ps. 1: 4;
Ps. 35: 5; Isa. 5: 24; Jer. 23: 28. The wicked also are compared to
chaff to be burned up with unquenchable fire — eternal punishment. Matt. 3: 12; Luke 3: 17.
