Evil people will be swept away before burning thorns can heat a pot. And it doesn’t matter if the thorns are green or dry.

你们用荆棘烧火，锅还未热，他要用旋风把青的和烧着的一齐刮去。

你们用荆棘烧火，锅还未热，上帝就用旋风把未烧着的和已烧着的一齐刮去。

你们用荆棘烧火，锅还未热，神就用旋风把未烧着的和已烧着的一齐刮去。

刹那间，荆棘还没有把锅烧热的工夫，上帝必除灭他们。

你们用荆棘烧火，锅还未热，他要用旋风把烧着的和未烧着的一起刮去。

在你们的锅还没有被荆棘烧热之前，他就要用旋风，把其中未烧着的和已烧着的一起刮走！

你們用荊棘燒火，鍋還未熱，他要用旋風把青的和燒着的一齊颳去。

你們用荊棘燒火，鍋還未熱，上帝就用旋風把未燒着的和已燒着的一齊颳去。

你們用荊棘燒火，鍋還未熱，神就用旋風把未燒着的和已燒着的一齊颳去。

刹那間，荊棘還沒有把鍋燒熱的工夫，上帝必除滅他們。

你們用荊棘燒火，鍋還未熱，他要用旋風把燒著的和未燒著的一起颳去。

願他們不知不覺被割掉像荊棘，像蒺藜像刺草，願他就用旋風給一齊颳去！

在你們的鍋還沒有被荊棘燒熱之前，他就要用旋風，把其中未燒著的和已燒著的一起颳走！

荊棘為薪、其釜未熱、青者、焦者、俱為旋風吹去兮、

束荊為炊、釜甑未熟、或青或枯、為大風吹去兮。

爾曹以荊棘為炊、鍋猶未熱、其中物尚生、驟被狂風吹去、

願其如蝸牛之消形兮。載行載滅。願其如胚胎之流產兮。不見天日。

Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns— whether they be green or dry— the wicked will be swept away.

Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of thorns, whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away!

God will sweep them away, both young and old, faster than a pot heats over burning thorns.

Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns— whether green or burning— he will sweep them away.

Before your pots can feel the fire of thorns He will sweep them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike.

Before your pots can feel the burning thorns, He shall take them away as with a whirlwind, As in His living and burning wrath.

Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will take them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike.

Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns— whether green or burning— He will sweep them away.

Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in[ his] wrath.

Before the kindling is even placed under your pots, he will sweep it away along with both the raw and cooked meat.

They attacked me like swarms of bees. But they were burned up as quickly as thorns in a fire. By the Lord’ s power I destroyed them.

When the storm is over, sinners are gone. But those who do right stand firm forever.

A foolish person’s laughter is like the crackling of thorns burning under a pot. That doesn’t have any meaning either.

They sound like the roar of rushing waters. But when the Lord speaks out against them, they run far away. The wind blows them away like straw on the hills. A strong wind drives them along like tumbleweeds.

They are planted. They are scattered like seeds. They put down roots in the ground. But as soon as that happens, God blows on them and they dry up. Then a windstorm sweeps them away like straw.

A storm will burst out because of my great anger. A windstorm will sweep down on the heads of sinful people.

But the Lord will make something totally new happen. The ground will open its mouth and swallow them up. It will swallow up everything that belongs to them. They will be buried alive. When that happens, you will know that these men have disrespected the Lord.”

The east wind carries them off, and they are gone. It sweeps them out of their houses.

I will laugh when hard times hit you like a storm. I will laugh when danger comes your way like a windstorm. I will make fun of you when suffering and trouble come.

God, you will bring sinners down to the grave. Murderers and liars won’t live out even half of their lives. But I trust in you.

Everything always goes well for him. So he is proud. He doesn’t want to have anything to do with God’s laws. He makes fun of all his enemies.

When trouble comes, sinners are brought down. But godly people seek safety in God even as they die.

God, I’m sure you will make them slip and fall. You will throw them down and destroy them.It will happen very suddenly. A terrible death will take them away completely.A dream goes away when a person wakes up. Lord, it will be like that when you rise up. It will be as if those people were only a dream.

They are driven from light into the place of darkness. They are thrown out of the world.

Those who are evil are happy for only a short time. The joy of ungodly people lasts only for a moment.Their pride might reach all the way up to the heavens. Their heads might touch the clouds.But they will disappear forever, like the waste from their own bodies. Anyone who has seen them will say,‘ Where did they go?’Like a dream they will fly away. They will never be seen again. They will be driven away like visions in the night.The eyes that saw them won’t see them anymore. Even their own families won’t remember them.Their children must pay back what they took from poor people. Their own hands must give back the wealth they stole.They might feel young and very strong. But they will soon lie down in the dust of their graves.“ Anything that is evil tastes sweet to them. They keep it under their tongues for a while.They can’t stand to let it go. So they hold it in their mouths.But their food will turn sour in their stomachs. It will become like the poison of a serpent inside them.They will spit out the rich food they swallowed. God will make their stomachs throw it up.They will suck the poison of a serpent. The fangs of an adder will kill them.They won’t enjoy streams that flow with honey. They won’t enjoy rivers that flow with cream.What they worked for they must give back before they can eat it. They won’t enjoy what they have earned.They’ve crushed poor people and left them with nothing. They’ve taken over houses they didn’t even build.“ No matter how much they have, they always long for more. But their treasure can’t save them.There isn’t anything left for them to eat up. Their success won’t last.While they are enjoying the good life, trouble will catch up with them. Terrible suffering will come on them.When they’ve filled their stomachs, God will pour out his great anger on them. He’ll strike them down with blow after blow.They might run away from iron weapons. But arrows that have bronze tips will wound them.They will pull the arrows out of their backs. They will remove the shining tips from their livers. They will be filled with terror.Total darkness hides and waits for their treasures. God will send a fire that will destroy them. It will burn up everything that’s left in their tents.Heaven will show their guilt to everyone. The earth will be a witness against them.A flood will carry their houses away. Rushing water will wash them away on the day when God judges.Now you know what God will do to sinful people. Now you know what he has planned for them.”

An evil person is proud and hunts down those who are weak. He catches weak people by making clever plans.
