Psalm 58:7-9

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷ Let them vanish like water that runs away;
    like grass let them be trodden down and wither.^[a]
8 Let them be like the snail which dissolves into slime,
    like the untimely birth that never sees the sun.
⁹ Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of thorns,
    whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away!
