14
Let the neighbors of Zion come; remember the capture of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting brought upon them.
15
For he brought against them a nation from afar, a shameless nation, of a strange language, who had no respect for an old man, and had no pity for a child.
16
They led away the widow's beloved sons, and bereaved the lonely woman of her daughters.
18
For he who brought these calamities upon you will deliver you from the hand of your enemies.
