Psalm 40:15

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.

Pour out Your rage on them,
and let Your burning anger overtake them.

Let those who say, “Aha, aha!”
retreat because of their shame.

How suddenly they become a desolation!
They come to an end, swept away by terrors.

Set a wicked person over him;
let an accuser stand at his right hand.

For the days will come on you when your enemies will build an embankment against you, surround you, and hem you in on every side.

Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days, for there will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people.

They open their mouths wide against me and say,
“Aha, aha! We saw it!”

Let those who say, “Aha, aha!”
retreat because of their shame.

Let them be put to shame and terrified forever;
let them perish in disgrace.
