and for the land of my people, a land overgrown with thorns and briers— yes, mourn for all houses of merriment and for this city of revelry.

My people’s land is overgrown with thorns and bushes. Mourn for all the houses that were once filled with joy. Cry over this city that used to be full of wild parties.

for the soil of my people growing up in thorns and briers, yes, for all the joyous houses in the exultant city.

For your land will be overgrown with thorns and briers. Your joyful homes and happy towns will be gone.

for the ground of my people growing thorns and briers, indeed, for every joyous house in the jubilant city.

For the land of my people in which thorns and briars will come up; Indeed, for all the joyful houses and for the jubilant city.

Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city.

for the ground of my people growing thorns and briers, indeed, for every joyous house in the joyful city.

Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns[ and] briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy[ in] the joyous city:

Mourn over the land of my people, which is overgrown with thorns and briers, and over all the once- happy houses in the city filled with revelry.

Thorns and briers will come up on my people’s land; yes, on all the houses of joy in the joyous city.

You who are full of noise, A tumultuous city, a joyous city? Your slain men are not slain with the sword, Nor dead in battle.

For indeed they are gone because of destruction. Egypt shall gather them up; Memphis shall bury them. Nettles shall possess their valuables of silver; Thorns shall be in their tents.

And thorns shall come up in its palaces, Nettles and brambles in its fortresses; It shall be a habitation of jackals, A courtyard for ostriches.

It shall happen in that day, That wherever there could be a thousand vines Worth a thousand shekels of silver, It will be for briers and thorns.

In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart,‘ I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’Therefore her plagues will come in one day— death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.

And the Chaldeans burned the king’s house and the houses of the people with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.

A fruitful land into barrenness, For the wickedness of those who dwell in it.

And in that day the Lord GOD of hosts Called for weeping and for mourning, For baldness and for girding with sackcloth.But instead, joy and gladness, Slaying oxen and killing sheep, Eating meat and drinking wine:“ Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”

I will lay it waste; It shall not be pruned or dug, But there shall come up briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds That they rain no rain on it.”

Then I said,“ Lord, how long?” And He answered:“ Until the cities are laid waste and without inhabitant, The houses are without a man, The land is utterly desolate,

Also the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, Shall be destroyed. The thorn and thistle shall grow on their altars; They shall say to the mountains,“ Cover us!” And to the hills,“ Fall on us!”
