And sworn by those who are not gods.

They committed adultery
And trooped to the harlot’s house.

And go from them!
For all of them are adulterers,
An assembly of treacherous men.

And set them apart for a day of carnage!

“Judah mourns
And her gates languish;
They sit on the ground in mourning,

And her tears are on her cheeks;
She has none to comfort her
Among all her lovers.
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies.

The field is ruined,

The land mourns;

For the grain is ruined,
The new wine dries up,
Fresh oil fails.

The pleasant

“For the mountains I will take up a weeping and wailing,
And for the pastures of the wilderness a dirge,
Because they are laid waste so that no one passes through,
And the lowing of the cattle is not heard;
Both the birds of the sky and the beasts have fled; they are gone.

A fruitful land into a salt waste,
Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it.

Therefore, a curse devours the earth, and those who live in it are held guilty. Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.
