25 Your men will (A)fall by the sword
And your [a]mighty ones in battle.
26 And her [b](B)gates will lament and mourn,
And she will (C)sit deserted on the ground.

A Remnant Prepared

For seven women will take hold of (D)one man on that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; (E)take away our disgrace!”
