Your land ^H776 is desolate ^H8077;

Your cities ^H5892 are burned ^H8313 with fire ^H784;

Your fields ^H127—strangers ^H2114 are devouring ^H398 them in your presence ^H5048;

It is desolate ^H8077, as overthrown ^H4114 by strangers ^H2114.

How ^H351 the faithful ^H539 city ^H7151 has become ^H1961 a harlot ^H2181,

She who was full ^H4392 of justice ^H4941!

Righteousness ^H6664 once lodged ^H3885 in her,

But now ^H6258 murderers ^H7523.

“Then I will have ^H7725 your judges ^H8199 return ^H7725 as at the first ^H7223,

And your counselors ^H3289 as at the beginning ^H8462;

Afterwards ^H310 you will be called ^H7121 the city ^H5892 of righteousness ^H6664,

A faithful ^H539 town ^H7151.”

Then I said ^H559, “Lord ^H136, how ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970?” And He said ^H559,

“Until ^{H5704 H834 H518} cities ^H5892 are devastated ^H7582 and without ^H369 inhabitant ^H3427,

Houses ^H1004 are without ^H369 people ^H120,

And the land ^H127 is devastated ^H7582 to desolation ^H8077,

I send ^H7971 it against a godless ^H2611 nation ^H1471

And command ^H6680 it against ^H5921 the people ^H5971 of My fury ^H5678

To capture ^H7997 spoil ^H7998 and to seize ^H962 plunder ^H957,

And to [fn]trample ^H4823 them down ^H4823 like mud ^H2563 in the streets ^H2351.

“By the power ^H3581 of my hand ^H3027 and by my wisdom ^H2451 I did ^H6213 this,

For I have ^H995 understanding ^H995;

And I removed ^H5493 the boundaries ^H1367 of the peoples ^H5971

And plundered ^H8154 their treasures ^H6264,

And like a mighty ^H3524 man ^H47 I brought ^H3381 down ^H3381 [fn]their inhabitants ^H3427,

He has come ^H935 against ^H5921 Aiath ^H5857,

He has passed ^H5674 through Migron ^H4051;

At Michmash ^H4363 he deposited ^H6485 his baggage ^H3627.

Who made ^H7760 the world ^H8398 like a wilderness ^H4057

And pulled ^H2040 down ^H2040 its cities ^H5892,

Who did not [fn]allow ^H6605 his prisoners ^H615 to go home ^H1004?’

“Prepare ^H3559 for his sons ^H1121 a place ^H4293 of ^H4293 slaughter ^H4293

Because of the iniquity ^H5771 of their fathers ^H1.

They must not arise ^H6965 and take ^H3423 possession ^H3423 of the earth ^H776

And fill ^H4390 the face ^H6440 of the world ^H8398 with cities ^H5892.”

“Wail ^H3213, O gate ^H8179; cry ^H2199, O city ^H5892;

[fn]Melt ^H4127 away ^H4127, O Philistia ^H6429, all ^H3605 of you;

For smoke ^H6227 comes ^H935 from the north ^H6828,

And there ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 straggler ^H909 in his ranks ^H4151.

The [fn]oracle ^H4853 concerning Damascus ^H1834.

“Behold ^H2009, Damascus ^H1834 is about to be removed ^H5493 from being a city ^H5892

And will become ^H1961 a fallen ^H4654 ruin ^H4596.

In that day ^H3117 [fn]their strong ^H4581 cities ^H5892 will be like [fn]forsaken ^H5805 places ^H5805 in the forest ^H2793,

Or like [fn]branches ^H534 which ^H834 they forsook ^H5800 before ^H4480 H6440 the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478;

And [fn]the land will be a desolation ^H8077.

For thus ^H3541 Yahweh ^H3068 has told ^H559 me,

“I will look ^H5027 [fn]from My dwelling ^H4349 place ^H4349 quietly ^H8252

Like dazzling ^H6703 heat ^H2527 in the [fn]sunshine ^H216,

Like a cloud ^H5645 of dew ^H2919 in the heat ^H2527 of harvest ^H7105.”

“So I will incite ^H5526 Egyptians ^H4714 against Egyptians ^H4714;

And they will each ^H376 fight ^H3898 against his brother ^H251 and each ^H376 against his neighbor ^H7453,

City ^H5892 against city ^H5892 and kingdom ^H4467 against kingdom ^H4467.

In that day ^H3117 five ^H2568 cities ^H5892 in the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714 will be speaking ^H1696 the language ^H8193 of Canaan ^H3667 and swearing ^H7650 allegiance to Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635; one ^H259 will be called ^H559 the City ^H5892 of [fn]Destruction ^H2041.

You who were full ^H4392 of noise ^H8663,

You roaring ^H1993 city ^H5892, you exultant ^H5947 town ^H7151;

Your slain ^H2491 were not slain ^H2491 with the sword ^H2719,

Nor ^H3808 [fn]did they die ^H4191 in battle ^H4421.

And He revealed ^H1540 the [fn]defense ^H4539 of Judah ^H3063.

In that day ^H3117 you looked ^H5027 to the weapons ^H5402 of the house ^H1004 of the forest ^H3293,

Take ^H3947 your harp ^H3658, walk ^H5437 about ^H5437 the city ^H5892,

O forgotten ^H7911 harlot ^H2181;

Pluck ^H5059 the ^H5059 strings ^H5059 skillfully ^H3190, sing ^H7235 H7892 many ^H7235 songs ^H7892,

That you may be remembered ^H2142.

The city ^H7151 of chaos ^H8414 is broken ^H7665 down ^H7665;

Every ^H3605 house ^H1004 is shut ^H5462 up ^H5462 so ^H4480 that ^H4480 none ^H4480 may enter ^H935.

Desolation ^H8047 remains ^H7604 in the city ^H5892,

And the gate ^H8179 is struck ^H3807 down to ruins ^H7591.

For You have made ^H7760 a city ^H5892 into a heap ^H1530,

A fortified ^H1219 town ^H7151 into a ruin ^H4654;

A palace ^H759 of strangers ^H2114 is a city ^H5892 no ^H4480 more ^H4480,

It will never ^H5769 H3808 be rebuilt ^H1129.

In that day ^H3117 this ^H2088 song ^H7892 will be sung ^H7891 in the land ^H776 of Judah ^H3063:

“We have a strong ^H5797 city ^H5892;

He sets ^H7896 up ^H7896 walls ^H2346 and ramparts ^H2426 for salvation ^H3444.

“For He has laid ^H7817 low ^H7817 those who settle ^H3427 on high ^H4791, the [fn]exalted ^H7682 city ^H7151;

He brings ^H8213 it low ^H8213, He brings ^H8213 it low ^H8213 to the ground ^H776, He casts ^H5060 it to the dust ^H6083.

“I, Yahweh ^H3068, am its keeper ^H5341;

I water ^H8248 it every moment ^H7281.

Lest ^H6435 anyone [fn]damage ^H6485 it,

I keep ^H5341 it night ^H3915 and day ^H3117.

Woe ^H1945, O [fn]Ariel ^H740, [fn]Ariel ^H740 the city ^H7151 where David ^H1732 once camped ^H2583!

Add ^H3254 year ^H8141 to year ^H8141, [fn]observe ^H5362 your feasts ^H2282 on schedule ^H5362.

Therefore ^H3651 this ^H2088 iniquity ^H5771 will be to you

Like a breach ^H6556 about to fall ^H5307,

A bulge ^H1158 in a high ^H7682 wall ^H2346,

Whose ^H834 breaking ^H7667 comes ^H935 suddenly ^H6597 in an instant ^H6621,

For the land ^H127 of my people ^H5971 in which thorns ^H6975 and briars ^H8068 shall come ^H5927 up ^H5927,

Indeed ^H3588, against all ^H3605 the joyful ^H4885 houses ^H1004 and the exultant ^H5947 city ^H7151.

Then my people ^H5971 will live ^H3427 in a peaceful ^H7965 abode ^H5116,

And in secure ^H4009 dwellings ^H4908 and in undisturbed ^H7600 resting ^H4496 places ^H4496;

Behold ^H2372 Zion ^H6726, the city ^H7151 of our appointed ^H4150 times ^H4150;

Your eyes ^H5869 will see ^H7200 Jerusalem ^H3389, an abode ^H5116 at ^H7600 ease ^H7600,

A tent ^H168 which will not be folded ^H6813;

Its stakes ^H3489 will never ^H1077 H5331 be pulled ^H5265 up ^H5265,

Nor ^H1077 any ^H3605 of its cords ^H2256 ever ^H1077 be torn ^H5423 apart ^H5423.

And thorns ^H5518 will come ^H5927 up ^H5927 in its fortified ^H4013 towers ^H759,

Weeds ^H7057 and thistles ^H2336 in its fortified ^H4013 cities ^H4013;

It will also be a haunt ^H5116 of jackals ^H8565

And an abode ^H2681 of ostriches ^H3284.

Now it happened in the fourteenth ^H702 H6240 year ^H8141 of King ^H4428 Hezekiah ^H2396, that Sennacherib ^H5576 king ^H4428 of Assyria ^H804 came ^H5927 up ^H5927 against ^H5921 all ^H3605 the fortified ^H1219 cities ^H5892 of Judah ^H3063 and seized ^H8610 them.

“Have you not heard ^H8085?

Long ^H7350 ago ^H7350 I did ^H6213 it;

From days ^H3117 H6924 of old ^H6924 I formed ^H3335 it.

Now ^H6258 I have brought ^H935 it to pass ^H935,

That you should devastate ^H7582 fortified ^H1219 cities ^H5892 into ruinous ^H5327 heaps ^H1530.

“Therefore ^H3651, thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068 concerning ^H413 the king ^H4428 of Assyria ^H804, ‘He will not come ^H935 to this ^H2088 city ^H5892 or shoot ^H3384 an arrow ^H2671 there ^H8033; and he will not come ^H6923 before ^H6923 it with a shield ^H4043 or ^H3808 throw ^H8210 up ^H8210 a siege ^H5550 ramp ^H5550 against ^H5921 it.

Get ^H5927 yourself up ^H5927 on a high ^H1364 mountain ^H2022,

O Zion ^H6726, bearer ^H1319 of ^H1319 good ^H1319 news ^H1319,

Raise ^H7311 up ^H7311 your voice ^H6963 powerfully ^H3581,

O Jerusalem ^H3389, bearer ^H1319 of ^H1319 good ^H1319 news ^H1319;

Raise ^H7311 it up ^H7311, do not fear ^H3372.

Say ^H559 to the cities ^H5892 of Judah ^H3063,

“Behold ^H2009 your God ^H430!”

Confirming ^H6965 the word ^H1697 of His servant ^H5650—

And the counsel ^H6098 of His messengers ^H4397 He will complete ^H7999—

And being the One who says ^H559 of Jerusalem ^H3389, ‘She shall be inhabited ^H3427!’

And of the cities ^H5892 of Judah ^H3063, ‘They shall be built ^H1129.’

And I will raise ^H6965 up ^H6965 her waste ^H2723 places ^H2723 again.

Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068 to Cyrus ^H3566 His anointed ^H4899,

Whom ^H834 I have taken ^H2388 hold ^H2388 of by his right ^H3225 hand ^H3225,

To subdue ^H7286 nations ^H1471 before ^H6440 him

And [fn]to loose ^H6605 the loins ^H4975 of kings ^H4428,

To open ^H6605 doors ^H1817 before ^H6440 him so that gates ^H8179 will not be shut ^H5462:

“I have awakened ^H5782 him in righteousness ^H6664,

And I will make ^H3474 all ^H3605 his ways ^H1870 smooth ^H3474;

He will build ^H1129 My city ^H5892 and will let ^H7971 My exiles ^H1546 go ^H7971,

Without ^H3808 any payment ^H4242 or reward ^H7810,” says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635.

“For they call ^H7121 themselves after ^H4480 the holy ^H6944 city ^H5892

And are supported ^H5564 by the God ^H430 of Israel ^H3478;

Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635 is His name ^H8034.
