3 “‘And I will commission over them four families,’+ is the utterance of Jehovah, ‘the sword to kill, and the dogs to drag away, and the flying creatures of the heavens+ and the beasts of the earth to eat and to bring to ruin.

10 “‘I sent among YOU people a pestilence in the nature of that of Egypt.+ With the sword I killed YOUR young men,+ along with the taking captive of YOUR horses.+ And I kept making the stink of YOUR camps ascend even into YOUR nostrils;+ but YOU did not come back to me,’+ is the utterance of Jehovah.
