2 The mother who bore them says to them, ‘Go, my children, because I am a widow and forsaken.(A) 3 I brought you up with gladness, but with mourning and sorrow I have lost you, because you have sinned before the Lord God and have done what is evil in my sight.[a] 4 But now what can I do for you? For I am a widow and forsaken. Go, my children, and ask for mercy from the Lord.’(B)
