Our inheritancehas been turnedover to strangers,Our housesto aliens.
Let the creditorseizeallthat he has, And let strangersplunderthe productof his labor.
Your landis desolate,Your citiesare burnedwith fire,Your fields--strangersare devouringthem in your presence;It is desolation,as overthrownby strangers.
Then the lambswill grazeas in their pasture,And strangerswill eatin the wasteplacesof the wealthy.
Your holypeoplepossessedYour sanctuaryfor a littlewhile,Our adversarieshave trodden[it] down.
And you will, even of yourself, letgoof your inheritanceThat I gaveyou; And I will make you serveyour enemiesIn the landwhichyou do not know;For you have kindleda firein My angerWhich will burnforever.
"Their housesshall be turnedoverto others,Their fieldsand their wivestogether;For I will stretchout My handAgainstthe inhabitantsof the land,"declaresthe LORD.
I will giveit into the handsof the foreignersas plunderand to the wickedof the earthas spoil,and they will profaneit.
Therefore, I will bringthe worstof the nations,and they will possesstheir houses.I will also make the prideof the strongonescease,and their holyplaceswill be profaned.
For they sowthe windAnd they reapthe whirlwind.The standinggrainhasnoheads;It yieldsnograin.Shouldit yield,strangerswould swallowit up.
Israelis swallowedup; They are nowamong the nationsLike a vesselin which noonedelights.
"Moreover, their wealthwill becomeplunderAnd their housesdesolate;Yes, they will buildhousesbut not inhabit[them], And plantvineyardsbut not drinktheir wine."
