They will attack you on every side with shield, [g]buckler, and helmet; and I will commit the (F)judgment to them, and they will judge you according to their customs. 25 I will set My (G)jealousy against you, so that they may deal with you in wrath. They will remove your nose and your ears; and your [h]survivors will fall by the sword. They will take your (H)sons and your daughters; and your [i]survivors will be consumed by the fire.
