Psalm 58:7-9
English Standard Version
7 Let them (A)vanish like water that runs away;
when he (B)aims his arrows, let them be blunted.
8 Let them be like the snail (C)that dissolves into slime,
like (D)the stillborn child who never sees the sun.
9 Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of (E)thorns,
whether green or ablaze, may he (F)sweep them away![a]

Psalm 58:7-9
King James Version
7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
8 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
