They inhabit the strongholds;
(B)Their might is dried up;
They are becoming (C)like women;
Their dwelling places are set on fire;
The (D)bars of her gates are broken.

And one (F)messenger to meet [b]another,

32 The fords also have been seized,
And they have burned the marshes with fire,
And the men of war are terrified.
