Psalms 62:3

How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall [shall ye be, and as] a tottering fence.

How long will ye imagine mischief {H2050}{H8779)} against a man {H376}? ye shall be slain {H7523}{H8792)} all of you: as a bowing {H5186}{H8803)} wall {H7023} shall ye be, and as a tottering {H1760}{H8803)} fence {H1447}.

How long will you assail a person in order to murder him, all of you, as if he were a sagging wall or a shaky fence?

How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or a tottering fence?

How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
