"Before they are conscious of it, let them be cut down like thorns; let a strong wind take them away like waste growth."
— Psalms 58:9, Bible in Basic English
“Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will take them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike. ”
“Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.”
“Before the kindling is even placed under your pots, he will sweep it away along with both the raw and cooked meat.”
O God, let their teeth be broken in their mouths; let the great teeth of the young lions be pulled out, O Lord.
Let them be turned to liquid like the ever-flowing waters; let them be cut off like the grass by the way.
Let them be like an after-birth which is turned to water and comes to an end; like the fruit of a woman who gives birth before her time, let them not see the sun.
Before they are conscious of it, let them be cut down like thorns; let a strong wind take them away like waste growth.
The upright man will be glad when he sees their punishment; his feet will be washed in the blood of the evil-doer.
So that men will say, Truly there is a reward for righteousness; truly there is a God who is judge on the earth.
