Who is the wise man that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?

Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.

To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and wag his head.

And I will make this city desolate, and a hissing; every one that passeth by it shall be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues.
