Whatever you[a] plot against the Lord,
he will bring it to complete destruction;(A)
oppression will not rise up a second time.
10 For they will be consumed
like entangled thorns,(B)
like the drink of a drunkard
and like straw that is fully dry.[b]

    They are consumed like stubble
        that is entirely dried up.
