All the buildings will be knocked down. Every city gate will be smashed to pieces.

城中只有荒凉；城门拆毁净尽。

城里尽是荒凉，城门全都摧毁。

城里尽是荒凉，城门全都摧毁。

城里一片荒凉，城门一片瓦砾。

城门所剩下的只有荒凉，城门被撞得粉碎。

城中只有废墟残留，城门被打得破碎不堪。

城中只有荒涼；城門拆毀淨盡。

城裏盡是荒涼，城門全都摧毀。

城裏盡是荒涼，城門全都摧毀。

城裡一片荒涼，城門一片瓦礫。

城門所剩下的只有荒涼，城門被撞得粉碎。

城中剩下的只是荒涼，城門被撞得七零八落。

邑中荒蕪、邑門被毀、成為邱墟、

The city is left in ruins, its gate is battered to pieces.

Desolation is left in the city; the gates are battered into ruins.

The city is left in ruins, its gates battered down.

Only desolation remains in the city; its gate has collapsed in ruins.

Desolation is left in the city And the gate is battered to ruins.

In the city desolation is left, And the gate is stricken with destruction.

In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.

Only desolation remains in the city; its gate has collapsed in ruins.

In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.

The city is left in ruins; the gate is reduced to rubble.

The city is left in desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction.

The royal palace will be left empty. The noisy city will be deserted. The fort and lookout tower will become a dry and empty desert forever. Donkeys will enjoy being there. Flocks will eat there.

Those who live in Maroth will groan with pain as they wait for help. That’s because the Lord will bring trouble on them. It will reach the very gate of Jerusalem.

Samaria’s plague can’t be healed. The plague has spread to Judah. It has spread right up to the gate of my people. It has spread to Jerusalem itself.

The city of Jerusalem is so empty! She used to be full of people. But now she’s like a woman whose husband has died. She used to be great among the nations. She was like a queen among the kingdoms. But now she is a slave.

The Lord says,“ I will knock down all of Jerusalem’s buildings. I will make it a home for wild dogs. The towns of Judah will be completely destroyed. No one will be able to live in them.”

Mount Zion has been deserted. Wild dogs are prowling all around on it.

Her gates sank down into the ground. He broke the metal bars that locked her gates, and he destroyed them. Her king and princes were taken away to other nations. There is no law anymore. Jerusalem’s prophets no longer receive visions from the Lord.

The roads to Zion are empty. No one travels to her appointed feasts. All the public places near her gates are deserted. Her priests groan. Her young women are sad. And Zion herself weeps bitterly.

The king became very angry. He sent his army to destroy them. They killed those murderers and burned their city.
