As smokeis drivenaway,[so] drive[them] away;As waxmeltsbeforethe fire,[So] let the wickedperishbeforeGod.
So Joaband the peoplewhowere with him drewnearto the battleagainst the Arameans,and they fledbeforehim.
But the ArameansfledbeforeIsrael,and Davidkilled700charioteersof the Arameansand 40,000horsemenand struckdownShobachthe commanderof their army,and he diedthere.
I am pouredout like water,And allmy bonesare out of joint;My heartis like wax;It is meltedwithinme.
But the wickedwill perish;And the enemiesof the LORDwill be like the gloryof the pastures,They vanish--like smokethey vanishaway.
You, even You, are to be feared;And whomay standin Your presencewhenonceYou are angry?
It is burnedwith fire,it is cutdown;They perishat the rebukeof Your countenance.
The mountainsmeltedlike waxat the presenceof the LORD,At the presenceof the Lordof the wholeearth.
At the soundof the tumultpeoplesflee;At the liftingup of Yourself nationsdisperse.
As firekindlesthe brushwood,[as] firecauses waterto boil--To makeYour nameknownto Your adversaries,[That] the nationsmay trembleat Your presence!
For wickednessburnslike a fire;It consumesbriarsand thorns;It even setsthe thicketsof the forestaflameAnd they rollupwardin a columnof smoke.
"Whyhave your mightyonesbecomeprostrate?They do not standbecausethe LORDhas thrustthem down.
Thereforethey will be like the morningcloudAnd like dewwhich soondisappears,Like chaffwhich is blownawayfrom the threshingfloorAnd like smokefrom a chimney.
The mountainswill meltunderHim And the valleyswill be split,Like waxbeforethe fire,Like waterpoureddowna steepplace.
Then it cameabout when the arksetout that Mosessaid,"Riseup, O LORD!And let Your enemiesbe scattered,And let those who hateYou fleebeforeYou."
