Tell it not in Gath, weep not at all; at Beth-le-aphrah roll thyself in the dust.

Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon: there shalt thou be delivered; there Jehovah will redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.

But the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
