Against The Carefree Women

12 For as the infants weep when their mothers' teats are dried, so shall you weep for your fair fields and fruitful vineyards. 13 My people's field shall bring thorns and thistles, for in every house is voluptuousness; and in the cities, willfulness. 14 The palaces also shall be broken, and the greatly occupied cities desolate. The towers and bulwarks shall be become dens forevermore, the pleasure of Mules shall be turned to pasture for sheep:
