Psalms 58:9 Context
7Let them melt away as waters, which runne continually: When he bendeth his bow to shoote his arrowes, let them be as cut in pieces. 8As a snaile which melteth, let euery one of them passe away: like the vntimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sunne. 9Before your pots can feele the thornes, he shall take them away as with a whirlewind, both liuing, and in his wrath. 10The righteous shall reioyce when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feete in the blood of the wicked. 11So that a man shall say, Uerily there is a reward for the righteous: verily hee is a God that iudgeth in the earth.
