¹⁷ Therefore the Lord ^(A)will have no joy in their young men,
Nor have mercy on their fatherless and widows;
For everyone is a hypocrite and an evildoer,
And every mouth speaks ^[a]folly.

²¹ Therefore ^(A)deliver up their children to the famine,
And pour out their blood
By the force of the sword;
Let their wives become widows
And ^(B)bereaved of their children.
Let their men be put to death,
Their young men be slain
By the sword in battle.
