Dict: easton - Chaff

Chaff @ the refuse of winnowed corn. It was usually burned kjv@Exodus:15:7; kjv@Isaiah:5:24; kjv@Matthew:3:12). This word sometimes, however, means dried grass or hay kjv@Isaiah:5:24 kjv@Isaiah:33:11). Chaff is used as a figure of abortive wickedness kjv@Psalms:1:4; kjv@Matthew:3:12). False doctrines are also called chaff kjv@Jeremiah:23:28), or more correctly rendered "chopped straw." The destruction of the wicked, and their powerlessness, are likened to the carrying away of chaff by the wind kjv@Isaiah:17:13; kjv@Hosea:13:3; kjv@Zephaniah:2:2).
