Why do you plot against the Lord?
    He will make an end;
    no adversary will rise up twice.(A)
10 Like thorns they are entangled;
    like drunkards they are drunk;
    they are consumed like dry straw.(B)
11 From you one has gone out
    who plots evil against the Lord,
    one who counsels wickedness.(C)

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.
11 From you has gone out
One who (F)plotted evil against the Lord,
A [a](G)wicked counselor.
