I will make people more rare than fine gold, and mankind than the gold of Ophir.
And seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; take away our reproach.”

Their bows will slaughter the young men; they will have no mercy on the fruit of the womb; their eyes will not pity children.
