chaff, dry plant material easily consumed by fire
This term designates the lightest agricultural waste, even more insubstantial than regular chaff (qash). Isaiah employs it twice in judgment oracles as a metaphor for futility and swift destruction. In Isaiah 33:11, enemies of God conceive chaff and give birth to stubble—a double image of worthless productivity. In Isaiah 5:24, the prophet warns that as flaming chaff sinks down, so will those who despise God's law perish. The imagery emphasizes how quickly and thoroughly divine judgment consumes those who oppose God, like fire devouring the driest plant refuse.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Both contexts use chaff imagery to depict the futility of opposing God. Isaiah 33:11 presents a birth metaphor: Assyrian schemes conceive and deliver only worthless plant material—chaff and stubble—rather than anything substantial. Isaiah 5:24 develops the fire imagery: as flaming chaff sinks down (consumed in moments), so perish those who reject Torah. The parallel with qash (stubble) in both passages creates a graded comparison of plant waste materials. Spanish paja, French/German chaff equivalents all convey this sense of the lightest, most combustible agricultural residue. 2×
