Than the children of the married woman,” says the Lord.

She has breathed her last;
(B)Her sun has gone down
While it was yet day;
She has been ashamed and confounded.
And the remnant of them I will deliver to the sword
Before their enemies,” says the Lord.

    before their enemies,”(E)
declares the Lord.
