Psalm 58:7-9
Amplified Bible
7
Let them flow away like water that runs off;
When he aims his arrows, let them be as headless shafts.
8
Let them be as a snail which melts away (secretes slime) as it goes along,
Like the miscarriage of a woman which never sees the sun.
9
Before your cooking pots can feel the fire of thorns [burning under them as fuel],
He will sweep them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning ones alike.
Psalm 58:7-9

New King James Version
7 (A)Let them flow away as waters which run continually;
When he bends his bow,
Let his arrows be as if cut in pieces.
8 Let them be like a snail which melts away as it goes,
(B)Like a stillborn child of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
9 Before your (C)pots can feel the burning thorns,
He shall take them away (D)as with a whirlwind,
As in His living and burning wrath.
