To make their land become a desolation, A hissing age-during, Every passer by it is astonished, And bemoaneth with his head.

and I have made this city for a desolation, and for a hissing, every passer by it is astonished, and doth hiss for all its plagues.

And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.

And Edom hath been for a desolation, Every passer by her is astonished, And doth hiss because of all her plagues.

Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

Because of the wrath of Jehovah it is not inhabited, And it hath been a desolation -- all of it. Every passer by at Babylon is astonished, And doth hiss because of all her plagues.
