Get the millstones ready
    and grind the grain into flour.
Take off your veil and fancy clothes.
    Lift your skirt and get ready to cross the rivers.[a]

    and use you for sex.

    and I will not let anyone help you.

“My people say, ‘God saves us.
    His name is the Lord All-Powerful, the Holy One of Israel.’”
