²¹ Therefore ^(A)deliver up their children to famine;
    give them over to the power of the sword;
let their wives become childless ^(B)and widowed.
    May their men meet death by pestilence,
    their youths be struck down by the sword in battle.

^22 (A)May a cry be heard from their houses,
    when you bring the plunderer suddenly upon them!
For ^(B)they have dug a pit to take me
    ^(C)and laid snares for my feet.
