4Their poison is like a snake's poison; they are like a deaf adder that stops up its ears,
5that pays no attention to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful they are.
6Break their teeth in their mouths, God; break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.
7Let them melt away as water that runs off; when they shoot their arrows, let them be as though they had no points.
8Let them be like a snail that melts and passes away, like the untimely-born child of a woman that never sees the sunlight.
9Before your pots can feel the thorn's burning heat, he will take them away with a whirlwind, the green thorns and the burning thorns alike.
