In that day shall their strong cities be as the forsaken places in the wood and on the mountain top, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel; and it shall be a desolation.

在那日，他们的坚固城必像树林中和山顶上所撇弃的地方，就是从前在以色列人面前被人撇弃的。这样，地就荒凉了。

当那日，他们坚固的城必因以色列人的缘故，如同树林中和山顶上所撇弃的地方。这样，地就荒芜了。

当那日，他们坚固的城必因以色列人的缘故，如同树林中和山顶上所撇弃的地方。这样，地就荒芜了。

到那日，他们因以色列人到来而遗弃的坚城必变为山林和高岗，一片荒凉。

到那日，他们那些因以色列人而撇弃的坚固城，必像树林中和山顶上被撇弃的地方，这样，地就荒凉了。

到那日，那些在以色列子孙面前被遗弃的坚固城，必像树林中和山顶上的被遗弃之所；于是那地就变得荒凉；

在那日，他們的堅固城必像樹林中和山頂上所撇棄的地方，就是從前在以色列人面前被人撇棄的。這樣，地就荒涼了。

當那日，他們堅固的城必因以色列人的緣故，如同樹林中和山頂上所撇棄的地方。這樣，地就荒蕪了。

當那日，他們堅固的城必因以色列人的緣故，如同樹林中和山頂上所撇棄的地方。這樣，地就荒蕪了。

到那日，他們因以色列人到來而遺棄的堅城必變為山林和高崗，一片荒涼。

到那日，他們那些因以色列人而撇棄的堅固城，必像樹林中和山頂上被撇棄的地方，這樣，地就荒涼了。

當那日子、你堅固的城必像希未人中和亞摩利人中被撇棄的地方，就是他們從前在以色列人面前所撇棄的；而地就荒涼了。

到那日，那些在以色列子孫面前被遺棄的堅固城，必像樹林中和山頂上的被遺棄之所；於是那地就變得荒涼；

是日也、其堅城見棄、若昔於以色列人前、林中山上所遺之處、地盡荒蕪、

當是日雅各家鞏固之城、變為荒寂、與昔以色列族未至之時、山林中所遺之古跡、無以異也。

當是日其鞏固之城將見遺棄、如昔迦南人因以色列人之故、在林中、在山上、所遺棄之城邑、地則荒蕪、

In that day their strong cities, which they left because of the Israelites, will be like places abandoned to thickets and undergrowth. And all will be desolation.

At that time the strong cities in Israel will be deserted. They will be as they were when the Israelites drove the Canaanites away. They will be like places that are taken over by bushes and weeds. The whole land will become dry and empty.

In that day their strong cities will be like the deserted places of the wooded heights and the hilltops, which they deserted because of the children of Israel, and there will be desolation.

Their largest cities will be like a deserted forest, like the land the Hivites and Amorites abandoned when the Israelites came here so long ago. It will be utterly desolate.

On that day their strong cities will be like the abandoned woods and mountaintops that were abandoned because of the Israelites; there will be desolation.

On that day their strong cities will be like abandoned places in the forest, Or like branches which they abandoned before the sons of Israel; And the land will be a desolation.

In that day his strong cities will be as a forsaken bough And an uppermost branch, Which they left because of the children of Israel; And there will be desolation.

On that day their strong cities will be like the abandoned woods and mountaintops that were abandoned because of the Israelites; there will be desolation.

In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.

At that time their fortified cities will be like the abandoned summits of the Amorites, which they abandoned because of the Israelites; there will be desolation.

In that day, their strong cities will be like the forsaken places in the woods and on the mountain top, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel; and it will be a desolation.

Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An adversary there shall be, even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be plundered.Thus saith Jehovah: As the shepherd rescueth out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be rescued that sit in Samaria in the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed.Hear ye, and testify against the house of Jacob, saith the Lord Jehovah, the God of hosts.For in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also visit the altars of Beth- el; and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.And I will smite the winter- house with the summer- house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith Jehovah.

For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.

Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the breath of Jehovah coming up from the wilderness; and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall make spoil of the treasure of all goodly vessels.Samaria shall bear her guilt; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword; their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.

Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley of them that are overcome with wine!Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one; as a tempest of hail, a destroying storm, as a tempest of mighty waters overflowing, will he cast down to the earth with the hand.The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under foot:and the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as the first- ripe fig before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.

And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and in stoutness of heart,The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stone; the sycomores are cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.Therefore Jehovah will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies,the Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

Behold, Jehovah maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest to him.The earth shall be utterly emptied, and utterly laid waste; for Jehovah hath spoken this word.The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the lofty people of the earth do languish.The earth also is polluted under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant.Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are found guilty: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merry- hearted do sigh.The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.The waste city is broken down; every house is shut up, that no man may come in.There is a crying in the streets because of the wine; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.

and the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land whose two kings thou abhorrest shall be forsaken.Jehovah will bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah- even the king of Assyria.And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the clefts of the rocks, and upon all thorn- hedges, and upon all pastures.In that day will the Lord shave with a razor that is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet; and it shall also consume the beard.

For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I may make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof a hissing: and ye shall bear the reproach of my people.

Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until cities be waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land become utterly waste,and Jehovah have removed men far away, and the forsaken places be many in the midst of the land.And if there be yet a tenth in it, it also shall in turn be eaten up: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remaineth, when they are felled; so the holy seed is the stock thereof.

Yet shall the land be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.

Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth- arbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces with her children.

and I will cut off the cities of thy land, and will throw down all thy strongholds.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the standing grain, and his arm reapeth the ears; yea, it shall be as when one gleaneth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
