Wherever you live the cities will be in ruins and the high places will be desolate, so that your altars will lie in ruins and be desecrated, your idols smashed and obliterated, your incense altars cut down, and your works wiped out.

therefore, prophesy and say: This is what the Lord God says: Because they have made you desolate and have trampled you from every side, so that you became a possession for the rest of the nations and an object of people’s gossip and slander,

Then I said, “Until when, Lord?” And He replied:

Until cities lie in ruins without inhabitants,
houses are without people,
the land is ruined and desolate,

For this is what the Lord says:

The whole land will be a desolation,
but I will not finish it off.

I will raise weeping and a lament
over the mountains,
a dirge over the wilderness grazing land,
for they have been so scorched
that no one passes through.
The sound of cattle is no longer heard.
From the birds of the sky to the animals,
everything has fled—they have gone away.

Listen! A noise—it is coming—
a great commotion from the land to the north.
The cities of Judah will be made desolate,
a jackals’ den.

They have made their land a horror,
a perpetual object of scorn;

everyone who passes by it will be horrified
and shake his head.

Therefore, this is what the Lord says: I am about to hand this city over to the Chaldeans, to Babylon’s king Nebuchadnezzar, and he will capture it.

because of its inhabitants
and as a result of their actions.

“I scattered them with a windstorm over all the nations that had not known them, and the land was left desolate behind them, with no one coming or going. They turned a pleasant land into a desolation.”

All that is therein

A Davidic psalm.The earth and everything in it,
the world and its inhabitants,
belong to the Lord;

for the earth is the Lord’s,

and all that is in it.

Because

Forge the chain,
for the land is filled with crimes of bloodshed,
and the city is filled with violence.

Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with wickedness.

and fruitful land into salty wasteland,
because of the wickedness of its inhabitants.

As a well gushes out its water,
so she pours out her evil.
Violence and destruction resound in her.
Sickness and wounds keep coming to My attention.

who build Zion with bloodshed
and Jerusalem with injustice.
