18 There is no one to guide her among all the sons to whom she has given birth;
    and there is no one who takes her by the hand among all the sons whom she has brought up.
19 These two things have happened to you—
    who will grieve with you?—
desolation and destruction,
    and famine and the sword.

    like an antelope in a net.
They are full of Yahweh’s wrath,
    the rebuke of your God.
