Like the snail that dissolves into slime,
    like a woman’s stillborn child,
    let them never see the sun.
Before your pots feel the thorns,
    whether green or burned up,
    God will sweep them away![a]

10 But the righteous will rejoice when they see vengeance done,
    when they wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.
