Who are faint from hunger
At the head of every street.”

But no one gives it to them.

“Terror and pit and snare are before you,
O inhabitant of Moab,” says the Lord.

With you I shatter old man and youth,
With you I shatter young man and virgin,
“In that day the beautiful virgins
And [even the vigorous] young men shall faint from thirst.
