⁹ By the weapons of Jehovah of Hosts Do not many houses a desolation become? Great and good without inhabitant!

³⁸ Lo, left desolate to you is your house;

¹⁴ And revealed it hath been in mine ears, `By' Jehovah of Hosts: Not pardoned is this iniquity to you, Till ye die, said the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts.

⁷ `And the king having heard, was wroth, and having sent forth his soldiers, he destroyed those murderers, and their city he set on fire;

¹¹ For lo, Jehovah is commanding, And He hath smitten the great house `with' breaches, And the little house `with' clefts.

¹¹ Therefore, because of your trampling on the poor, And the tribute of corn ye take from him, Houses of hewn work ye have built, And ye do not dwell in them, Desirable vineyards ye have planted, And ye do not drink their wine.

⁷ For the Lord Jehovah doth nothing, Except He hath revealed His counsel unto His servants the prophets.

¹⁰ For the fenced city `is' alone, A habitation cast out and forsaken as a wilderness, There doth the calf delight, And there it lieth down, And hath consumed its branches.

¹¹ And I say, `Till when, O Lord?' And He saith, `Surely till cities have been wasted without inhabitant, And houses without man, And the ground be wasted -- a desolation,

¹² And Jehovah hath put man far off, And great `is' the forsaken part in the heart of the land.

⁶ And I make it a waste, It is not pruned, nor arranged, And gone up have brier and thorn, And on the thick clouds I lay a charge, From raining upon it rain.

²¹ to fulfil the word of Jehovah in the mouth of Jeremiah, till the land hath enjoyed its sabbaths; all the days of the desolation it kept sabbath -- to the fulness of seventy years.
