32 The [d](B)arrogant one will stumble and fall
With no one to raise him up;
And I will (C)set fire to his cities,
And it will devour all his surroundings.”

“The sons of Israel are oppressed,
And the sons of Judah as well;
And (D)all who took them captive have held them firmly,
They have refused to let them go.
