² As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

²² And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.
