UST This is how bad things have gotten. We are selling our children into slavery. In fact, we have even sold some of our daughters.

BSB & MSB We and our children are just like our countrymen and their children, yet we are subjecting our sons and daughters to slavery. Some of our daughters are already enslaved, but we are powerless [to redeem them] because our fields and vineyards belong to others.”
