(and that) the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, (and) a burning, (that) it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which Jehovah overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
He shall not look upon the rivers, The flowing streams of honey and butter.
Whose home I have made the wilderness, And the salt land his dwelling-place?
For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
therefore thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed; he shall not have a man to dwell among this people, neither shall he behold the good that I will do unto my people, saith Jehovah, because he hath spoken rebellion against Jehovah.
Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.
