⁵ The courageous were stripped of their spoil;
    they sank into sleep;
none of the troops
    was able to lift a hand.^(A)

⁷ Therefore all hands will be feeble,
    and every human heart will melt,^(A)

⁸     and they will be terrified.
Pangs and agony will seize them;
    they will be in anguish like a woman in labor.
They will look aghast at one another;
    their faces will be aflame.^(A)

³⁶ A sword against the diviners,
    so that they may become fools!
A sword against her warriors,
    so that they may be dismayed!^(A)

³⁷ A sword against her^[a] horses and against her^[b] chariots
    and against all the foreign troops in her midst,
    so that they may become women!
A sword against her treasures,
    that they may be plundered!^(A)
