The fatherless is seized from the breast
Here "breast" is a synecdoche for the mother. This can be translated in active form. Alternate translation: "The wicked seize the fatherless from their mothers" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-hyperbole and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive)
