³ We have become fatherless,
    our mothers are widows.^(A)

²¹ So give their children over to famine;^(A)
    hand them over to the power of the sword.^(B)
Let their wives be made childless and widows;^(C)
    let their men be put to death,
    their young men^(D) slain by the sword in battle.

⁸ I will make their widows^(A) more numerous
    than the sand of the sea.
At midday I will bring a destroyer^(B)
    against the mothers of their young men;
suddenly I will bring down on them
    anguish and terror.^(C)
