Psalm 83:13

Prayer Against Enemies

¹²
Who said, “Let us possess for ourselves
The pastures of God.” ¹³ 
O my God, make them like whirling dust,
Like chaff before the wind [worthless and without substance].
¹⁴
Like fire consumes the forest,
And like the flame sets the mountains on fire,

Like wind-driven chaff with his bow.
