Psalms 58:9

The Amorites, who lived in that hill country, came out against you and chased you as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to Hormah.

For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

He who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still.”

For he breaks me with a storm, and multiplies my wounds without cause.

It will be accomplished before his time. His branch will not be green.

You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.

he who doesn’t lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.

For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for Yahweh shall inherit the land.

Let death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is among them, in their dwelling.

Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.

that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked.

They surrounded me like bees. They are quenched like the burning thorns. In Yahweh’s name I cut them off.

When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more; but the righteous stand firm forever.

The fear of Yahweh prolongs days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

Don’t be too wicked, neither be foolish. Why should you die before your time?

Who has raised up one from the east? Who called him to his foot in righteousness? He hands over nations to him and makes him rule over kings. He gives them like the dust to his sword, like the driven stubble to his bow.

Yahweh of Armies says, “Behold, evil will go out from nation to nation, and a great storm will be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth.”

And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

I have waited for your salvation, Yahweh.

So they, and all that belonged to them went down alive into Sheol. The earth closed on them, and they perished from among the assembly.

How often is it that they are as stubble before the wind, as chaff that the storm carries away?

The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.

Let his days be few. Let another take his office.

Wisdom is too high for a fool. He doesn’t open his mouth in the gate.

I said of laughter, “It is foolishness;” and of mirth, “What does it accomplish?”

For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This also is vanity.

He will surely wind you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you shame of your lord’s house.

You will winnow them, and the wind will carry them away, and the whirlwind will scatter them. You will rejoice in Yahweh. You will glory in the Holy One of Israel.

But these two things will come to you in a moment in one day, the loss of children and widowhood. They will come on you in their full measure, in the multitude of your sorceries, and the great abundance of your enchantments.

I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy. I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.

I looked, and behold, a stormy wind came out of the north: a great cloud, with flashing lightning, and a brightness around it, and out of the middle of it as it were glowing metal, out of the middle of the fire.

Therefore they will be like the morning mist, and like the dew that passes away early, like the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing floor, and like the smoke out of the chimney.

before the appointed time when the day passes as the chaff, before the fierce anger of Yahweh comes on you, before the day of Yahweh’s anger comes on you.

Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,

We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

“Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment!”

Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin; but I come to you in the name of Yahweh of Armies, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

the land dark as midnight, of the shadow of death, without any order, where the light is as midnight.’ ”

Behold, he will kill me. I have no hope. Nevertheless, I will maintain my ways before him.

He will fly away as a dream, and will not be found. Yes, he will be chased away like a vision of the night.

You lift me up to the wind, and drive me with it. You dissolve me in the storm.

Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, and disaster to the workers of iniquity?

May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.

The trouble he causes shall return to his own head. His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.

“Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says Yahweh; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”

We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May Yahweh grant all your requests.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Trust in Yahweh, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.

Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.

As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The future of the wicked shall be cut off.

For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.

But those who seek my soul to destroy it shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.

In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant.

He will die for lack of instruction. In the greatness of his folly, he will go astray.

Therefore his calamity will come suddenly. He will be broken suddenly, and that without remedy.

The righteous will never be removed, but the wicked will not dwell in the land.

A man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

The wicked are overthrown, and are no more, but the house of the righteous shall stand.

for a righteous man falls seven times and rises up again; but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.

They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of the knowledge of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea.

Yahweh, your hand is lifted up, yet they don’t see; but they will see your zeal for the people, and be disappointed. Yes, fire will consume your adversaries.

Wrath is not in me, but if I should find briers and thorns, I would do battle! I would march on them and I would burn them together.

But the multitude of your foes will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will be in an instant, suddenly.

He heard news concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, “He has come out to fight against you.” When he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

Behold, for peace I had great anguish, but you have in love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; for you have cast all my sins behind your back.

I will bring these to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples.”

The wolf and the lamb will feed together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. Dust will be the serpent’s food. They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain,” says Yahweh.

As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right. In the middle of his days, they will leave him. At his end, he will be a fool.

It was so, when they came into the middle of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah killed them, and cast them into the middle of the pit, he, and the men who were with him.

“You have covered us with anger and pursued us. You have killed. You have not pitied.

When I tell the wicked, ‘You will surely die;’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; that wicked man will die in his iniquity; but I will require his blood at your hand.

But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it will devour its palaces, with shouting in the day of battle, with a storm in the day of the whirlwind;

For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, they are consumed utterly like dry stubble.

For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of the animals, which made them afraid; because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to every city and to those who dwell in them.

For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?

However God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”

But if Yahweh makes a new thing, and the ground opens its mouth, and swallows them up with all that belong to them, and they go down alive into Sheol, then you shall understand that these men have despised Yahweh.”

Now she had an ambush waiting in the inner room. She said to him, “The Philistines are on you, Samson!” He broke the cords as a flax thread is broken when it touches the fire. So his strength was not known.

He will be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.

He lies down rich, but he will not do so again. He opens his eyes, and he is not.

The east wind carries him away, and he departs. It sweeps him out of his place.

In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.

His ways are prosperous at all times. He is arrogant, and your laws are far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.

But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.

How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with terrors.

when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when your disaster comes on like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come on you.

The wicked is brought down in his calamity, but in death, the righteous has a refuge.

The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters: but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far off, and will be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.

Behold, I will put a spirit in him and he will hear news, and will return to his own land. I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.” ’ ”

They are planted scarcely. They are sown scarcely. Their stock has scarcely taken root in the ground. He merely blows on them, and they wither, and the whirlwind takes them away as stubble.

When you cry, let those whom you have gathered deliver you; but the wind will take them. a breath will carry them all away: but he who takes refuge in me will possess the land, and will inherit my holy mountain.”

Behold, Yahweh’s storm, his wrath, has gone out. Yes, a whirling storm: It will burst on the head of the wicked.

Behold, Yahweh’s storm, his wrath, has gone out, a sweeping storm: it will burst on the head of the wicked.

“but I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned: for they made the pleasant land desolate.”
