| [11]Therefore I am fullH4392 of the furyH2534 of the LORDH3068; I am wearyH3811[H8738] with holding inH3557[H8687]: I will pour it outH8210[H8800] upon the childrenH5768 abroadH2351, and upon the assemblyH5475 of young menH970 togetherH3162: for even the husbandH376 with the wifeH802 shall be takenH3920[H8735], the agedH2205 with him that is fullH4390[H8804] of daysH3117. |
