And Yahweh said to Moses, "Reach out your hand and grasp [it] by its tail"--" (And he reached out his hand and grabbed it, and it became a staff in his palm.)--

When you are lifted up in power, all those who come against you are crushed: when you send out your wrath, they are burned up like dry grass.
