For thus saith Jehovah, The whole land shall be a desolation; yet will I not make a full end.
And I will make Jerusalem heaps, a dwelling-place of jackals; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.
Moreover I will make thee a desolation and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
In all your dwelling-places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your sun-images may be hewn down, and your works may be abolished.
Therefore I also have smitten thee with a grievous wound; I have made thee desolate because of thy sins.
