He continued, “You know your father and his men. They are mighty men, and as fierce as a wild bear robbed of her cubs. Moreover, your father is a man of war who will not spend the night with the troops.

Like a bear robbed of her cubs I will attack them,and I will tear open their chests.There I will devour them like a lion,like a wild beast would tear them apart.

Then you will say in your heart,‘Who has begotten these for me?I was bereaved and barren;I was exiled and rejected.So who has reared them?Look, I was left all alone,so where did they come from?’”

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.

It is better to meet a bear robbed of her cubsthan a fool in his folly.
