13 For I hear the whispering of many— terror all around!—as they scheme together against me, as they plot to take my life.(A)
25 Do not go out into the field or walk on the road,for the enemy has a sword; terror is on every side.”(A)
12 Even if they bring up children, I will bereave them until no one is left.Woe to them indeed when I depart from them!(A)
13 Once I saw Ephraim as a young palm planted in a lovely meadow,[a] but now Ephraim must lead out his children for slaughter.(A)
