¹⁸ Then your covenant with death will be annulled,
    and your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
when the overwhelming scourge passes through,
    you will be beaten down by it.^(A)

²⁴ I will scatter you^[a] like chaff
    driven by the wind from the desert.^(A)

²¹ Therefore give their children over to famine;
    hurl them out to the power of the sword;
let their wives become childless and widowed.
    May their men meet death by pestilence,
    their youths be slain by the sword in battle.^(A)

¹⁰ Then my enemies^[a] will see,
    and shame will cover those^[b] who said to me,
    “Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will see their^[c] downfall;^[d]
    now they^[e] will be trodden down
    like the mire of the streets.^(A)
