64:4  They shoot from ambush at the innocent. Suddenly the deed is done, yet they are not afraid.
64:5  They encourage each other to do evil. They meet in secret to set their traps. “He will never notice them here,” they say.

64:7  But God himself will shoot them down. Suddenly his arrow will pierce them.
