The earthwill be completelylaidwasteand completelydespoiled,for the LORDhas spokenthisword.
to fulfillthe wordof the LORDby the mouthof Jeremiah,untilthe landhad enjoyedits sabbaths.Allthe daysof its desolationit keptsabbathuntil seventyyearswere complete.
and the remainderof the numberof bowmen,the mightymenof the sonsof Kedar,will be few;for the LORDGodof Israelhas spoken."
"In that day,"declaresthe LORDof hosts,"the pegdrivenin a firmplacewill giveway;it will even breakoffand fall,and the loadhanging on it will be cutoff,for the LORDhas spoken."
Behold,the LORDlaysthe earthwaste,devastatesit, distortsits surfaceand scattersits inhabitants.
And the peoplewill be like the priest,the servantlike his master,the maidlike her mistress,the buyerlike the seller,the lenderlike the borrower,the creditorlike the debtor.
The earthmourns[and] withers,the worldfades[and] withers,the exaltedof the peopleof the earthfadeaway.
But thisis a peopleplunderedand despoiled;Allof them are trappedin caves,Or are hiddenaway in prisons;They have becomea preywith noneto deliver[them], And a spoil,with noneto say,"Give[them] back!"
"I will layit waste;It will not be prunedor hoed,But briarsand thornswill comeup. I will also chargethe cloudsto rainnorainon it."
Then I said,"Lord,howlong?"And He answered,"Untilcitiesare devastated[and] withoutinhabitant,Housesare withoutpeopleAnd the landis utterlydesolate,
Listenand giveheed,do not be haughty,For the LORDhas spoken.
Therefore,O mountainsof Israel,hearthe wordof the LordGOD.Thussaysthe LordGODto the mountainsand to the hills,to the ravinesand to the valleys,to the desolatewastesand to the forsakencitieswhichhave becomea preyand a derisionto the restof the nationswhichare roundabout,
"On that daythey will takeup againstyou a tauntAnd uttera bitterlamentation[and] say,'We are completelydestroyed!He exchangesthe portionof my people;HowHe removesit from me! To the apostateHe apportionsour fields.'
Eachof them will situnderhis vineAnd underhis figtree,With nooneto make[them] afraid,For the mouthof the LORDof hostshas spoken.
Allits landis brimstoneand salt,a burningwaste, unsownand unproductive,and nograssgrowsin it, like the overthrowof Sodomand Gomorrah,Admahand Zeboiim,whichthe LORDoverthrewin His angerand in His wrath.'
and the LORDuprootedthem from their landin angerand in furyand in greatwrath,and castthem into anotherland,as [it is] thisday.'
