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 are quenched like the burning thorns.
In the name of Yahweh I cut them off.

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.
