As waters which run continually; as waters arising from melted snow, or great showers, or some other extraordinary cause, which at first run with great force and noise, and throw down all that stands in their way, but are suddenly gone, and run away and vanish, and return no more. When he bendeth his bow, to wit, any or every one of mine enemies, as appears from the foregoing and following words. Is cut in pieces, i.e. like arrows broken asunder whilst a man shoots, which can do no hurt.
