Surely you place them on slippery ground; you cast them down to ruin. How suddenly are they destroyed, completely swept away by terrors! They are like a dream when one awakes; when you arise, Lord, you will despise them as fantasies.
Surely you place them on slippery ground
Deuteronomy 32:35 "It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them."
Psalm 35:6 ... may their path be dark and slippery, with the angel of the LORD pursuing them.
you cast them down to ruin
Psalm 17:13 Rise up, LORD, confront them, bring them down; with your sword rescue me from the wicked.
How suddenly they are destroyed
Deuteronomy 28:20 The LORD will send on you curses, confusion and rebuke in everything you put your hand to, until you are destroyed and come to sudden ruin because of the evil you have done in forsaking him.
Proverbs 24:22 ... for those two (the LORD and the king) will send sudden destruction on them (rebellious officials), and who knows what calamities they can bring?
Isaiah 47:11 "Disaster will come upon you (Babylon), and you will not know how to conjure it away. a calamity will fall upon you that you cannot ward off with a ransom; a catastrophe you cannot foresee will suddenly come upon you."
completely swept away by terrors!
Genesis 19:15 With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished."
They are like a dream
Job 20:8 "Like a dream he (the wicked) flies away, no more to be found, banished like a vision of the night."
when one awakes
Psalm 78:65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, as a warrior wakes from the stupor of wine.
Isaiah 29:8 ... as when a hungry person dreams of eating, but awakens hungry still; as when a thirsty person dreams of drinking, but awakens faint and thirsty still. So will it be with the hordes of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion.
when you arise, Lord, you will despise them as fantasies
Proverbs 12:11 Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies have no sense.
Proverbs 28:19 Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies will have their fill of poverty.
