Psalms 58:8

Let them be like a snail (unborn fetus – Hebr. shablul) that melts away (dissolves),
like a woman's miscarriage, let them never see the sun.
[This verse is also difficult to translate. The Hebr. word shablul is only used here in the Old Testament. If it is a snail, the image could be the trail of slime it leaves behind, which quickly dries up in the sun. It could also be a parallel to a miscarriage and an unrecognizable fetus.]
