10 And David went on to say: “As Jehovah is living,+ Jehovah himself will deal him a blow;+ or his day will come+ and he will have to die, or down into battle+ he will go, and he will certainly be swept away.+

21 Therefore give their sons over to the famine,+ and deliver them over to the power* of the sword;+ and may their wives become women bereaved of children, and widows.+ And may their own men become those killed with deadly plague, their young men those struck down with the sword in the battle.+

31 “‘A noise will certainly come clear to the farthest part* of the earth, for there is a controversy that Jehovah has with the nations.+ He must personally put himself in judgment with all flesh.+ As regards the wicked ones, he must give them to the sword,’+ is the utterance of Jehovah.
