⁷ With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips;^(A) your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.^(B)”

⁷ Now the whole clan has risen up against your servant; they say, ‘Hand over the one who struck his brother down, so that we may put him to death^(A) for the life of his brother whom he killed; then we will get rid of the heir^(B) as well.’ They would put out the only burning coal I have left,^(C) leaving my husband neither name nor descendant on the face of the earth.”
