At noontime I will bring a destroyer against the mothers of their young men. I will cause anguish and terror to fall suddenly upon them.The mother who had seven children will grow faint. All the breath will go out of her. Her pride and joy will be taken from her in the prime of their life. It will seem as if the sun had set while it was still day.
