Psalm 58:7-9
New American Standard Bible
7 May they (A)flow away like water that runs off;
When he [a](B)aims his arrows, may they be as [b]headless shafts.
8 May they be like a snail which goes along in slime,
Like the (C)miscarriage of a woman that never sees the sun.
9 Before your (D)pots can feel the fire of thorns
He will (E)sweep them away with a whirlwind, the [c]green and the burning alike.

Psalm 58:7-9
King James Version
7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
8 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
