May those who are trying to take my life be embarrassed and ashamed! May those who want to harm me be turned back and ashamed!

May all who hate Zion be humiliated and turned back!

I will throw my bird net over them while they are flying, I will bring them down like birds in the sky; I will discipline them when I hear them flocking together.

Habakkuk Declares His Confidence I listened and my stomach churned; the sound made my lips quiver. My frame went limp, as if my bones were decaying, and I shook as I tried to walk. I long for the day of distress to come upon the people who attack us.

For our God is indeed a devouring fire.
