24     They will come after you with lethal weapons[a] in hand,
        shields in place, dressed in armor;
    And troops will storm you from every side
        in war chariots and wagons.
    I will hand you over to their judgment,
        and they will punish you according to their customs.
25     I will unleash My jealous fury against you.
        They will slice off your nose and ears and kill the rest of your people in battle.
    They will steal your children,
        and they will burn any who survive in a fire.
26     They will strip you and take away your clothes;
        they will rob you of your expensive jewelry.
