none reach the paths of life.

They slaughtered Zedekiah’s sons before his eyes. Finally, the king of Babylon blinded Zedekiah, bound him in bronze chains, and took him to Babylon.

So He brought against them the military commanders of the king of Assyria. They captured Manasseh with hooks, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon.

and their dignitaries with iron shackles,

Grind

and every firstborn male in the land of Egypt will die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne to the firstborn of the servant girl who is behind the millstones, as well as every firstborn of the livestock.

Take millstones and grind meal;
remove your veil,
strip off your skirt, bare your thigh,
wade through the streams.

Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and one left.
