Psalm 118:12

New American Standard Bible

¹²They surrounded me ^(A)like bees;
They were extinguished like a ^(B)fire of thorn bushes;
In the name of the Lord I will certainly fend 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)

⁶For as the ^[a]crackling of ^(A)thorn bushes under a pot,
So is the ^(B)laughter of the fool;
And this too is futility.

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