He has laid my vine waste, and splintered my fig tree: he has stripped it bare, and cast it away; its branches are made white.

How the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.

And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for a harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.

The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have you sold unto the Greeks, that you might remove them far from their border.
