“I will separate them with a winnowing[a] shovel at the city gates.
    I will make them childless.
    I will destroy my people because they will not change their ways.
Their widows will be more numerous
    than the grains of sand on the seashore.
    At noontime I will send a destroyer against the mothers of young men.
    I will suddenly bring anguish and terror to them.
A mother who gives birth to seven sons will grow faint
    and breathe her last.
        She will die, ashamed and humiliated,
            while it is still daylight.
    I will put survivors from these people to death
    in the presence of their enemies,” declares Yahweh.
