^2 (A)You shall burn with fire one-third in the midst of ^(B)the city, when ^(C)the days of the siege are finished; then you shall take one-third and strike around it with the sword, and one-third you shall scatter in the wind: I will draw out a sword after ^(D)them.

^14 (A)I will scatter to every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his troops; and ^(B)I will draw out the sword after them.
