¹⁴ So will I break down the wall that you have daubed with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation of it shall be uncovered; and it shall fall, and you shall be consumed in the midst of it: and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

¹² Therefore Zion for your sake will be plowed like a field, And Jerusalem will become heaps of rubble, And the mountain of the temple like the high places of a forest.

¹¹ I will make Jerusalem heaps, a dwelling-place of jackals; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.

¹² The high fortress of your walls has he brought down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.

² For you have made of a city a heap, of a fortified city a ruin, a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
