Psalms 55:9

Destroy Lit., swallow upthese malicious plotters, as the earth swallowed up Korah and his crew (Numbers 16:32). From several passages however it has been inferred that this verb also means to confound; and if so, their tonguemay be the object of both verbs, and there may be a reminiscence of two passages in Genesis: "The Lord did there confoundthe language of all the earth" (Genesis 11:9): and "In his days was the earth divided" (Genesis 10:25). May confusion and division such as overtook the builders of Babel overtake them, and break up their confederacy!
