From Derek Kidner
The Way of Doom
The simile in verse 4 goes as far beyond Jeremiah's contrast of fruitful tree and desert shrub (Je::17:6) as the judgement goes beyond ordinary calamities. It emphasizes more what a person is than what he sees and feels : He is chaff. saying man/woman is rootless, weightless , the vain light person.
Verse 5 In our saying the person doesn't have a leg to stand on.
Verse 6 Here it shows that the two ways, the good and the evil, part forever. there is no third way.
