¹⁶ When I send against them the ^[a]deadly arrows of famine which ^[b]were for the destruction of those whom I will send to destroy you, then I will also intensify the famine upon you and break the staff of bread. ¹⁷ Moreover, ^(A)I will send on you famine and wild beasts, and they will bereave you of children; ^(B)plague and bloodshed also will pass through you, and I will bring the sword on you. I, the Lord, have spoken.’”
