Psalms 83:13 Context
11Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: 12Who sayd, Let vs take to our selues, the houses of God in possession. 13O my God, make them like a wheele: as the stubble before the wind. 14As the fire burneth a wood: and as the flame setteth the mountaines on fire: 15So persecute them with thy tempest: and make them afraid with thy storme.
