21 Therefore, agive their children over to famine
And deliver them up to the power of the sword;
And let their wives become bchildless and cwidowed.
Let their men also be smitten to death,
Their dyoung men struck down by the sword in battle.
22 May an aoutcry be heard from their houses,
When You suddenly bring raiders upon them;
bFor they have dug a pit to capture me
And chidden snares for my feet.
23 Yet You, O Yahweh, know
All their deadly counsel against me;
aDo not atone for their iniquity
Or blot out their sin from before You.
But may they be boverthrown before You;
Deal with them in the ctime of Your anger!
