¹² They surrounded me like bees; They were quenched like a fire of thorns; For in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

¹² They surrounded me like bees; they went out like a fire among thorns; in the name of the Lord I cut them off!

¹² They swarmed around me like bees; they blazed against me like a crackling fire. But I destroyed them all with the authority of the Lord .
