- "For¹ deathª is come upª° into our windows,ª [and] is enteredª° into our palaces,ª to cut offª° the childrenª from without,ª¹ [and] the young menª from the streets.ª¹ ... Speak,ª° Thus¹ saithª° the LORD,ª Even the carcasesª of menª shall fallª° as dungª upon¹ the openª field,ª and as the handfulª afterª¹ the harvestman,ª° and none¹ shall gatherª° [them]." {Jer 9:21-22} + "And it shall come to pass,¹ if¹ they sayª° unto¹ thee, Whither¹ shall we go forth?ª° then thou shalt tellª°¹ them, Thus¹ saithª° the LORD;ª Such as¹ [are] for death,ª to death;ª and such as¹ [are] for the sword,ª to the sword;ª and such as¹ [are] for the famine,ª to the famine;ª and such as¹ [are] for the captivity,ª to the captivity.ª ... She that hath borneª° sevenª languisheth:ª° she hath given upª° the ghost;ª her sunª is gone²° down¹ while¹ [it was] yet day:ª°² she hath been ashamedª° and confounded:ª° and the residueª of them will I deliverª° to the swordª beforeª their enemies,ª° saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 15:2-9} + "For¹ thus¹ saithª° the LORDª concerning¹ the sonsª and concerning¹ the daughtersª that are born²°¹ in this¹ place,ª and concerning¹ their mothersª that bareª° them, and concerning¹ their fathersª that begat²¹ them in this¹ land;ª ... For¹ thus¹ saithª° the LORDª of hosts,ª the Godª of Israel;ª Behold,¹ I will cause to ceaseª° out of¹ this¹ placeª in your eyes,ª and in your days,ª the voiceª of mirth,ª and the voiceª of gladness,ª the voiceª of the bridegroom,ª and the voiceª of the bride.ª" {Jer 16:3-9} + "Therefore¹ deliver upª°¹ their childrenª to the famine,ª and pour outª° their [blood] by¹ the forceª of the sword;ª and let their wivesª be¹ bereaved² of their children,¹ and [be] widows;ª and let their men²¹ be¹ putª° to death;ª [let] their young menª [be] slainª° by the swordª in battle.ª" {Jer 18:21} + "And I will make voidª°¹ the counselª of Judahª and Jerusalemª in this¹ place;ª and I will cause them to fallª° by the swordª beforeª their enemies,ª° and by the handsª of them that seekª° their lives:ª and¹ their carcasesª will I giveª° to be meatª for the fowlsª of the heaven,ª and for the beastsª of the earth.ª ... And I will cause them to eatª°¹ the fleshª of their sonsª and the fleshª of their daughters,ª and they shall eatª° every oneª the fleshª of his friendª in the siegeª and straitness,ª wherewith¹ their enemies,ª° and they that seekª° their lives,ª shall straitenª° them." {Jer 19:7-9} + "And afterward,ª¹ saithª° the LORD,ª I will deliverª°¹ Zedekiahª kingª of Judah,ª and his servants,ª and the people,ª and such as are leftª° in this¹ cityª from¹ the pestilence,ª from¹ the sword,ª and from¹ the famine,ª into the handª of Nebuchadrezzarª kingª of Babylon,ª and into the handª of their enemies,ª° and into the handª of those that seekª° their life:ª and he shall smiteª° them with the edgeª of the sword;ª he shall not¹ spareª°¹ them, neither¹ have pity,ª° nor¹ have mercy.ª°" {Jer 21:7} + "Therefore he broughtª° upon¹ them¹ the kingª of the Chaldees,ª who slewª° their young menª with the swordª in the houseª of their sanctuary,ª and had no compassionª°¹ upon¹ young manª or maiden,ª old man,ª or him that stooped for age:ª he gaveª° [them] all¹ into his hand.ª" {2Ch 36:17} + "Therefore the LORDª will cut offª° from Israelª¹ headª and tail,ª branchª and rush,ª in oneª day.ª ... Therefore¹¹ the Lordª shall have no¹ joyª° in¹ their young men,ª neither¹ shall have mercyª° on their fatherlessª and widows:ª for¹ every one¹ [is] an hypocriteª and an evildoer,ª° and every¹ mouthª speakethª° folly.ª For all¹ this¹ his angerª is not¹ turned away,ª° but his handª [is] stretched out¹ still.²°¹" {Isa 9:14-17} + "And it shall be,¹ as with the people,ª so with the priest;ª as with the servant,ª so with his master;ª as with the maid,ª so with her mistress;ª as with the buyer,ª° so with the seller;ª° as with the lender,ª° so with the borrower;ª° as with the taker of usury,ª° soª with the giver of usuryª° to him. ... The landª shall be utterly²° emptied,ª° and utterly²° spoiled:ª° for¹ the LORDª hath spokenª°¹ this¹ word.ª" {Isa 24:2-3} + "Behold,ª° O LORD,ª and considerª° to whom¹ thou hast doneª° this.ª Shall the womenª eatª° their fruit,ª [and] childrenª of a span long?ª shall the priestª and the prophetª be slainª° in the sanctuaryª of the Lord?ª ... Thou hast calledª° as in a solemnª dayª my terrorsª round about,ª¹ so that in the dayª of the LORD'Sª angerª none¹ escapedª¹ nor remained:ª those that¹ I have swaddledª° and brought upª° hath mine enemyª° consumed.ª°" {Lam 2:20-22} + "Therefore¹ the fathersª shall eatª° the sonsª in the midstª of thee, and the sonsª shall eatª° their fathers;ª and I will executeª° judgmentsª in thee, and¹ the whole¹ remnantª of thee will I scatterª° into all¹ the winds.ª" {Ezk 5:10} + "And to the othersª he saidª° in mine hearing,ª Goª° ye afterª him through the city,ª and smite:ª° let not¹ your eyeª spare,ª° neither¹ have ye pity:ª° ... And he saidª° unto¹ them, Defileª°¹ the house,ª and fillª°¹ the courtsª with the slain:ª go ye forth.ª° And they went forth,ª° and slewª° in the city.ª" {Ezk 9:5-7}
