Thus saith the Lord: Thus shalt thou say to him: Behold, them whom I have built, I do destroy: and them whom I have planted, I do pluck up, and all this land.
And as I have watched over them, to pluck up and to throw down and to scatter and destroy and afflict: so will I watch over them, to build up and to plant them, saith the Lord.
Lo, I have set thee this day over the nations, and over the kingdoms, to root up and to pull down, and to waste and to destroy, and to build and to plant.
And the Lord of hosts that planted thee hath pronounced evil against thee: for the evils of the house of Israel and the house of Juda which they have done to themselves, to provoke me, offering sacrifice to Baalim.
And as the Lord rejoiced upon you before, doing good to you, and multiplying you: so he shall rejoice destroying and bringing you to nought, so that you shall be taken away from the land which thou shalt go in to possess.
Vau. And he hath destroyed his tent as a garden, he hath thrown down his tabernacle. The Lord hath caused feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Sion and hath delivered up king and priest to reproach and to the indignation of his wrath.
