New International Version (NIV)

12They swarmed around me like bees,

but they were consumed as quickly as burning thorns;

in the name of the Lord I cut them down.

12They surrounded me like bees;

They were extinguished like a fire of thorn bushes;

In the name of the Lord I will certainly fend them off.

12They swarmed around me like bees;

They flare up and are extinguished like a fire of thorns;

In the name of the Lord I will surely cut them off. [Deut 1:44]

12They swarmed around me like bees,

but they were extinguished like burning thorns;

in the name of the Lord I cut them off.

12They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns:

In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

12They came about mee like bees, but they were quenched as a fire of thornes: for in the Name of the Lord I shall destroy them.

12They surrounded me like bees.

They are quenched like the burning thorns.

In Yahweh’s name I cut them off.

12They attacked me like swarms of bees.

But they were burned up as quickly as thorns in a fire.

By the Lord’s power I destroyed them.

12They were all around me like a crowd of bees!

But they soon disappeared,

like a fire in a thorn bush.

Yes, I used the Lord's authority to send them away.

12They surrounded me as bees, || They have been extinguished as a fire of thorns, || In the Name of YHWH I surely cut them off.
