For what His goodness! and what His beauty! Corn the young men, And new wine the virgins -- make fruitful!

And I take My staff Pleasantness, and cut it asunder, to make void My covenant that I had made with all the peoples:

And it hath come to pass, in that day, I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone to all the peoples, All loading it are completely pressed down, And gathered against it have been all nations of the earth.

In that day I make the leaders of Judah As a hearth of fire among trees, And as a torch of fire in a sheaf, And they have consumed -- on the right and on the left -- all the peoples round about, And Jerusalem hath inhabited again her place in Jerusalem.
