²³ “I will pile troubles on my people.
    I will shoot all my arrows at them.
²⁴ I will send them hunger. It will make them weak.
    I will send terrible sickness. I will send deadly plagues.
I will send wild animals that will tear them apart.
    Snakes that glide through the dust will bite them.

    Their homes will be filled with terror.
The young men and women will die.
    The babies and old people will die.
