¹² They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

⁴⁴ And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.

⁴⁵ Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.

⁵ We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.

⁶ For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.

20 The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;

⁹ Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.

⁹ O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

⁶ But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:

¹⁰ For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
