“Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.”
The statement that the speaker beat them to pieces like dust before the wind and emptied them out like dirt of the streets establishes complete dispersion and degradation. The dust imagery suggests that enemies are reduced to worthlessness. The scattering suggests permanent dispersal. This verse depicts enemies as utterly obliterated.
