15 O people of Mareshah,[a]
    I will bring a conqueror to capture your town.
And the leaders[b] of Israel
    will go to Adullam.

16 Oh, people of Judah, shave your heads in sorrow,
    for the children you love will be snatched away.
Make yourselves as bald as a vulture,
    for your little ones will be exiled to distant lands.
