Psalm 58:9

A Cry Against Injustice

⁸ Let them be as a snail which melts away as it goes along,
Like the miscarriages of a woman which never see the sun.
⁹ Before your pots can feel the fire of thorns
He will sweep them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike.
¹⁰ The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance;
He will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
