21 Therefore, (A)give their children over to famine
And deliver them up to the [a]power of the sword;
And let their wives become (B)childless and (C)widowed.
Let their men also be [b]smitten to death,
Their (D)young men struck down by the sword in battle.
22 May an (E)outcry be heard from their houses,
When You suddenly bring raiders upon them;
(F)For they have dug a pit to capture me
And (G)hidden snares for my feet.
23 Yet You, O Yahweh, know
All their [c]deadly counsel against me;
(H)Do not atone for their iniquity
Or blot out their sin from before You.
But may they be [d](I)overthrown before You;
Deal with them in the (J)time of Your anger!
