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.

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]
