“‘As for the ones who remain among you, I will bring despair into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a blowing leaf will pursue them, and they will flee as one who flees the sword and fall down even though there is no pursuer.

Job 17:7 TSK

My eyes have grown dim with grief; my whole frame is but a shadow.

Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am in distress! My eyes grow dim from suffering. I have lost my strength.

Why do you insist on being battered? Why do you continue to rebel? Your head has a massive wound, your whole heart is sick.

Then I said,“There is no cure for my grief! I am sick at heart!

מ(Mem) He sent down fire into my bones, and it overcame them. He spread out a trapper’s net for my feet; he made me turn back. He has made me desolate; I am faint all day long.

כ(Kaf) My eyes are worn out from weeping; my stomach is in knots. My heart is poured out on the ground due to the destruction of my helpless people; children and infants faint in the town squares.

So hearts melt with fear and many stumble. At all their gates I have stationed the sword for slaughter. Ah! It is made to flash, it is drawn for slaughter!
