Whatever you (A)devise against the Lord,
He will make a (B)complete end of it.
Distress will not rise up twice.
10 Like tangled (C)thorns,
And like those who are (D)drunken with their drink,
They are (E)consumed
Like stubble completely dried up.

Whatever you[a] plot against the Lord,

10 For they will be consumed
like entangled thorns,(B)
like the drink of a drunkard
and like straw that is fully dry.[b]
