¹² They swarmed around me like bees, but they were consumed as quickly as burning thorns; in the name of the Lord I cut them down.

¹² They are round me like bees; but they are put out like a fire among thorns; for in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.

¹² They surrounded me like bees.
They are quenched like the burning thorns.
In the name of Yahweh I cut them off.
