Psalm 118:12

English Standard Version Anglicised

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

Psalm 118:12

New International Version

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

⁶^(A)For as the crackling of ^(B)thorns under a pot,
so is the laughter of the fools;
this also is vanity.

⁶Like the crackling of thorns^(A) under the pot,
so is the laughter^(B) of fools.
This too is meaningless.
