Psalms 58:4-9

⁴Strong vengeance is to them, by the likeness of a serpent; as of a deaf snake, and stopping his ears.

⁵Which shall not hear the voice of charmers; and of a venom-maker charming ever so wisely.

⁶God shall all-break the teeth of them in their mouth; the Lord shall break altogether the great teeth of lions.

⁷They shall come to nought, as water running away; he bent his bow, till they be made sick.

⁸As wax that floateth or floweth away, they shall be taken away; fire fell above, and they saw not the sun.

⁹Before that your thorns understood the rhamn, either thieve-thorn; he swalloweth them so in ire, as with living men.
