Psalm 58:7-9
Expanded Bible

7 Let them ·disappear [vanish] like water that flows away.
    Let them ·be cut short like a broken arrow [L draw their arrows like they are cut off].
8 Let them be like ·snails [slugs] that ·melt [dissolve] as they move [C snails leave a slime as they move].
    Let them be like a ·child born dead [stillborn] who never saw the sun.
9 His anger will blow them away alive
    faster than burning thorns can heat a pot [C likely a reference to quick retribution].
