9 Thoult make them as a fiery oven ‖ in the times of thy wrath: ‖ Th' ETERNAL in His great wrath will ‖ swallow them wholly up. ‖ And the fire that shall flame from thence ‖ shall quite devour them all. ‖
10 Their fruit from Earth thou'lt waste, and from ‖ the sons of Men their seed. ‖
11 Because against thee they have still ‖ intended what is ill: ‖ They have contrived a device; ‖ but more than they could do. ‖
12 Thou shalt set them all but as one ‖ in turning of the back; ‖ Arrows thou shalt sit on the strings ‖ against the face of them. ‖
