They have made it an empty wasteland; I hear its mournful cry. The whole land is desolate, and no one even cares.

他们使地荒凉；地既荒凉，便向我悲哀。全地荒凉，因无人介意。

他们使地荒凉；地既荒凉，就向我哀哭。全地荒凉，却无人在意。

他们使地荒凉；地既荒凉，就向我哀哭。全地荒凉，却无人在意。

他们使这片土地荒凉，以致它在我面前哀哭。遍地如此荒凉，却无人在意。

他们使地荒凉，在我面前一片荒凉悲哀；全地荒凉，却无人关心。”

他們使地荒涼；地既荒涼，便發悲哀，使我憂愁；遍地荒涼，也無人介意。

且為荒蕪、向我悲哀、全地荒蕪、無人介意、

邦國荒蕪、號呼於我前、國雖荒蕪、人猶不以為意。

使地荒蕪、地荒蕪若哀慘於我前、全地荒蕪、而無人以為意、

It will be made a wasteland, parched and desolate before me; the whole land will be laid waste because there is no one who cares.

My vineyard will become a desert. It will be dry and empty in my sight. The whole land will be completely destroyed. And no one even cares.

They have made it a desolation; desolate, it mourns to me. The whole land is made desolate, but no man lays it to heart.

They have made it a desolation. It mourns, desolate, before me. All the land is desolate, but no one takes it to heart.

It has been made a desolation; Desolate, it mourns before Me; The whole land has been made desolate, Because no one takes it to heart.

They have made it desolate; Desolate, it mourns to Me; The whole land is made desolate, Because no one takes it to heart.

They have made it a desolation; it mourneth unto me, being desolate; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.

They have made it desolate,[ and being] desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth[ it] to heart.

They will lay it waste. It will lie parched and empty before me. The whole land will be laid waste. But no one living in it will pay any heed.

They have made it a desolation. It mourns to me, being desolate. The whole land is made desolate, because no one cares.

Therefore, he poured out his fury on them and destroyed them in battle. They were enveloped in flames, but they still refused to understand. They were consumed by fire, but they did not learn their lesson.

For the land is full of adultery, and it lies under a curse. The land itself is in mourning— its wilderness pastures are dried up. For they all do evil and abuse what power they have.

“ Judah wilts; commerce at the city gates grinds to a halt. All the people sit on the ground in mourning, and a great cry rises from Jerusalem.

Pour out your wrath on the nations that refuse to acknowledge you— on the peoples that do not call upon your name. For they have devoured your people Israel; they have devoured and consumed them, making the land a desolate wilderness.

How long must this land mourn? Even the grass in the fields has withered. The wild animals and birds have disappeared because of the evil in the land. For the people have said,“ The Lord doesn’t see what’s ahead for us!”“ If racing against mere men makes you tired, how will you race against horses? If you stumble and fall on open ground, what will you do in the thickets near the Jordan?Even your brothers, members of your own family, have turned against you. They plot and raise complaints against you. Do not trust them, no matter how pleasantly they speak.“ I have abandoned my people, my special possession. I have surrendered my dearest ones to their enemies.My chosen people have roared at me like a lion of the forest, so I have treated them with contempt.

Better to spend your time at funerals than at parties. After all, everyone dies— so the living should take this to heart.

Listen! Hear the terrifying roar of great armies as they roll down from the north. The towns of Judah will be destroyed and become a haunt for jackals.

“ Say to all your people and your priests,‘ During these seventy years of exile, when you fasted and mourned in the summer and in early autumn, was it really for me that you were fasting?

Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come.

I will reduce Jerusalem to ruins, making it a monument to their stupidity. All who pass by will be astonished and will gasp at the destruction they see there.

“ I will make Jerusalem into a heap of ruins,” says the Lord.“ It will be a place haunted by jackals. The towns of Judah will be ghost towns, with no one living in them.”

Jerusalem, once so full of people, is now deserted. She who was once great among the nations now sits alone like a widow. Once the queen of all the earth, she is now a slave.She sobs through the night; tears stream down her cheeks. Among all her lovers, there is no one left to comfort her. All her friends have betrayed her and become her enemies.Judah has been led away into captivity, oppressed with cruel slavery. She lives among foreign nations and has no place of rest. Her enemies have chased her down, and she has nowhere to turn.The roads to Jerusalem are in mourning, for crowds no longer come to celebrate the festivals. The city gates are silent, her priests groan, her young women are crying— how bitter is her fate!Her oppressors have become her masters, and her enemies prosper, for the Lord has punished Jerusalem for her many sins. Her children have been captured and taken away to distant lands.

Listen to this warning, Jerusalem, or I will turn from you in disgust. Listen, or I will turn you into a heap of ruins, a land where no one lives.”

Listen to me and make up your minds to honor my name,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,“ or I will bring a terrible curse against you. I will curse even the blessings you receive. Indeed, I have already cursed them, because you have not taken my warning to heart.
