over your summer fruit and your harvest.

over the mountains,

for they have been so scorched
that no one passes through.

everything has fled—they have gone away.

because of your pride.

they will be weeping continually,
and on the descent to Horonaim
will be heard cries of distress over the destruction:

in the Valley of Vision—

because the whole land is destroyed.

my tent curtains, in a moment.
