Psalm 58:7-9
Modern English Version

7 May they melt away as waters which run continually;
    when he bends his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be trodden under.
8 May they become as a snail that melts as it goes,
    like the untimely birth of a woman, may they not see the sun.

9 Before your pots can feel the thorns’ heat, green or burning,
    may He sweep them away.

7 Let them vanish like water that flows away;(A)
    when they draw the bow, let their arrows fall short.(B)
8 May they be like a slug that melts away as it moves along,(C)
    like a stillborn child(D) that never sees the sun.

9 Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns(E)—
    whether they be green or dry—the wicked will be swept away.[a](F)
