You're just like the average widows
the only man that knew any
shing about them is dead. Sure I'm
in on the play, Denny, old sox; you
shall feed on Carmel and Bashan.

No, after all that has been said, the
fact stands out clear and copiously

Merodach is broken in pieces; her
idols is confounded, her homes are
gone, her homes are gone, her images
are broken in pieces.
