At the breath of God they perish; at the blast of his anger they are no more.

By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his anger they are consumed.

A breath from God destroys them. They vanish in a blast of his anger.

They perish at a single blast  from God and come to an end by the breath of his nostrils.

By the blast of God they perish, And by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.

By the blast of God they perish, And by the breath of His anger they are consumed.

“Think! Has a truly innocent person ever ended up on the scrap heap? Do genuinely upright people ever lose out in the end? It’s my observation that those who plow evil and sow trouble reap evil and trouble. One breath from God and they fall apart, one blast of his anger and there’s nothing left of them. The mighty lion, king of the beasts, roars mightily, but when he’s toothless he’s useless— No teeth, no prey—and the cubs wander off to fend for themselves.

“By the breath of God they perish, And by the blast of His anger they come to an end.

“By the breath of God they perish, And by the blast of His anger they are consumed.

By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his anger they are consumed.
