Psalm 118:12

New King James Version

¹²They surrounded me ^(A)like bees;
They were quenched ^(B)like a fire of thorns;
For in the name of the Lord I will ^[a]destroy them.

Psalm 118:12

New International Version

¹²They swarmed around me like bees,^(A)
but they were consumed as quickly as burning thorns;^(B)
in the name of the Lord I cut them down.^(C)

⁶^(A)For like the ^[a]crackling of thorns under a pot,
So is the laughter of the fool.
This also is vanity.

⁶Like the crackling of thorns^(A) under the pot,
so is the laughter^(B) of fools.
This too is meaningless.
