<p class="poetry">but in the end<n id="1" /> she is bitter<n id="2" /> as wormwood,<n id="3" />p> <p class="poetry">sharp as a two-edged<n id="4" /> sword.p>

<p class="poetry">They<n id="1" /> sharpen their tongues like a sword;p> <p class="poetry">they aim their arrow, a slanderous charge,<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">like heat<n id="1" /> in a dry land,p> <p class="poetry">you humble the boasting foreigners.<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">Just as the shadow of a cloud causes the heat to subside,<n id="3" />p> <p class="poetry">so he causes the song of tyrants to cease.<n id="4" />p>

<p class="poetry">He made my mouth like a sharp sword,p> <p class="poetry">he hid me in the hollow of his hand;p> <p class="poetry">he made me like a sharpened<n id="1" /> arrow,p> <p class="poetry">he hid me in his quiver.<n id="2" />p>

I will bend Judah as my bow; I will load the bow with Ephraim, my arrow!<n id="1" /> I will stir up your sons, Zion, against yours, Greece, and I will make you, Zion,<n id="2" /> like a warrior&#8217;s sword.p>
