Psalm 58:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 [a]As raw flesh before your pots feel the fire of thorns: so let them carry them away as with a whirlwind in his wrath.
10 The righteous shall [b]rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the [c]blood of the wicked.
11 And men shall say, [d]Verily there is fruit for the righteous; doubtless there is a God that judgeth in the earth.
