12:12 “The prince 1 who is among them will raise his belongings 2 onto his shoulder in darkness, and will go out. He 3 will dig a hole in the wall to leave through. He will cover his face so that he cannot see the land with his eyes.
29:5 I will leave you in the wilderness,
you and all the fish of your waterways;
you will fall in the open field and will not be gathered up or collected. 4
I have given you as food to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the skies.
32:4 I will leave you on the ground,
I will fling you on the open field,
I will allow 5 all the birds of the sky to settle 6 on you,
and I will permit 7 all the wild animals 8 to gorge themselves on you.
