Widows: Increase of, Threatened As a Punishment

My anger will be kindled, and I will kill you with the sword; then your wives will become widows and your children will be fatherless.

I will make their widows more numerous than the sand of the sea. I will bring a destroyer at noon against the mothers of young men. I will suddenly bring upon them anguish and dismay.

Therefore, hand their children over to famine; pour out the power of the sword upon them. Let their wives become childless and widowed; let their husbands be slain by disease, their young men struck down by the sword in battle.
