“But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.”
The psalmist declares 'But the wicked will perish: though the LORD's enemies are like the flowers of the field, they will be consumed, they will go up in smoke.' The comparison of enemies to flowers suggests that while they appear beautiful and vital, they are temporary and will be consumed. The promise that they will 'go up in smoke' suggests complete and utter destruction. This verse emphasizes the inevitable doom of the wicked.
