Translation note
A very obscure verse in Hebrew. The image seems to be that of a fire of brambles lit under a pot, which the wind carries away before it heats: that is how quickly the wicked will come to an end.
The context
8Like a snail that melts away as it goes, like the stillborn of a woman, let them not see the sun.
