⁸ Their widows will be more numerous
    than the grains of sand on the seashore.
    At noontime I will send a destroyer against the mothers of young men.
    I will suddenly bring anguish and terror to them.
⁹ A mother who gives birth to seven sons will grow faint
    and breathe her last.
        She will die, ashamed and humiliated,
            while it is still daylight.
    I will put survivors from these people to death
    in the presence of their enemies,” declares Yahweh.

¹⁰ I’m so miserable! Why did my mother give birth to me?
    I am a man who argues and quarrels with the whole earth.
    I have never lent or borrowed anything.
    Yet, everyone curses me.
