⁹ You shall ^(A)break^[a] them with ^(B)a rod of iron
    and dash them in pieces like ^(C)a potter's vessel.”

¹⁴ and its breaking is ^(A)like that of a potter's vessel
    that is smashed so ruthlessly
that among its fragments not a shard is found
    with which to take fire from the hearth,
    or to dip up water out of the cistern.”

² The precious sons of Zion,
    worth their weight in ^(A)fine gold,
how they are regarded as ^(B)earthen pots,
    the work of a potter's hands!
