Psalms 58:9

Before your pots can feel the thorns, namely, the heat of the burning thorns used as fuel by caravans, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, with a sudden and unexpected destruction, both living and in his wrath, literally, whether fresh or burning, that is, whether the meat in the pot at that time be raw or already in a state of roasting, whether their evil plans had but recently been made, or whether they were being carried out, there being a possible reference here to the rebellion of Absalom.
