Psalms 58:8 in Context — Psalms 58

6 Qui n’entend pas la voix des enchanteurs, Du magicien le plus habile.

7 O Dieu, brise-leur les dents dans la bouche! Éternel, arrache les mâchoires des lionceaux!

8 Qu’ils se dissipent comme des eaux qui s’écoulent! Qu’ils ne lancent que des traits émoussés!

9 Qu’ils périssent en se fondant, comme un limaçon; Sans voir le soleil, comme l’avorton d’une femme!

10 Avant que vos chaudières sentent l’épine, Verte ou enflammée, le tourbillon l’emportera.
