Their poison is like the poison of a serpent; They are like the deaf cobra that stops its ear,
5
Which will not heed the voice of charmers, Charming ever so skillfully.

Let them flow away as waters which run continually; When he bends his bow, Let his arrows be as if cut in pieces.

Before your pots can feel the burning thorns, He shall take them away as with a whirlwind, As in His living and burning wrath.
10
The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance; He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,
11
So that men will say, "Surely there is a reward for the righteous; Surely He is God who judges in the earth."
