You will use your strong power
    to take hold of your enemies.[a]
You will catch everybody that hates you.
When you come out to fight against them,
    you will destroy them like a hot fire.
The Lord destroys them,
    because you are angry with them.
10 You will remove your enemies' children from the earth.
They will no longer have any descendants.

    and his fire will consume them.(B)
10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth,
    their posterity from mankind.(C)
