⁸ “Their ^(A)widows will be more numerous before Me
Than the sand of the seas;
I will bring against them, against the mother of a young man,
A ^(B)destroyer at noonday;
I will suddenly bring down on her
Anguish and dismay.

²¹ Therefore, ^(A)give their children over to famine
And deliver them up to the ^[a]power of the sword;
And let their wives become ^(B)childless and ^(C)widowed.
Let their men also be smitten to death,
Their ^(D)young men struck down by the sword in battle.
