Psalm 58:9

World English Bible (WEB)

Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.

In context

7 Let them vanish like water that flows away. When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.

8 Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.

9 Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.

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 shall say, “Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous. Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth.”
