I looked and saw that the fruitful land had become a desert and that all of the cities had been laid in ruins. The LORD had brought this all about because of his blazing anger.

我观看，不料，肥田变为荒地；一切城邑在耶和华面前，因他的烈怒都被拆毁。”

我观看，看哪，肥田变为荒地；所有城镇在耶和华面前，因他的烈怒都被拆毁。

我观看，看哪，肥田变为荒地；所有城镇在耶和华面前，因他的烈怒都被拆毁。

我四下观看，只见良田变荒野，城邑都在耶和华的烈怒下沦为废墟。

我观看，肥美田园变为荒野；在耶和华面前，就是在他烈怒之下，所有的城市都被拆毁。

我觀看，不料，肥田變為荒地；一切城邑在耶和華面前，因他的烈怒都被拆毀。

我觀看，看哪，肥田變為荒地；所有城鎮在耶和華面前，因他的烈怒都被拆毀。

我觀看，看哪，肥田變為荒地；所有城鎮在耶和華面前，因他的烈怒都被拆毀。

我四下觀看，只見良田變荒野，城邑都在耶和華的烈怒下淪為廢墟。

我觀看，肥美田園變為荒野；在耶和華面前，就是在他烈怒之下，所有的城市都被拆毀。

我觀看，啊，園地竟變為曠野；一切城市、在永恆主面前、因他的烈怒、都被拆毁。

我又觀之、見沃田成為荒野、諸邑毀於耶和華烈怒之前、

良田荒蕪、城邑傾圮、蓋耶和華涖臨、其怒殊烈。

見良田荒蕪、其諸城邑傾圮於主前、皆因主之烈怒、

I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert; all its towns lay in ruins before the Lord, before his fierce anger.

I looked. And the fruitful land had become a desert. All its towns were destroyed. The Lord had done all this because of his great anger.

I looked, and behold, the fruitful land was a desert, and all its cities were laid in ruins before the Lord, before his fierce anger.

I looked, and the fertile fields had become a wilderness. The towns lay in ruins, crushed by the Lord’s fierce anger.

I looked, and the fertile field was a wilderness. All its cities were torn down because of the LORD and his burning anger.

I looked, and behold, the fruitful land was a wilderness, And all its cities were pulled down Before the Lord, before His fierce anger.

I beheld, and indeed the fruitful land was a wilderness, And all its cities were broken down At the presence of the Lord, By His fierce anger.

I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of Jehovah, and before his fierce anger.

I looked, and the fertile field was a wilderness. All its cities were torn down because of the Lord and His burning anger.

I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place[ was] a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD,[ and] by his fierce anger.

I saw, and behold, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all its cities were broken down at the presence of Yahweh, before his fierce anger.

and a fruitful land into a barren place, because of the sin of its inhabitants.

Therefore, because of you, Zion will be plowed up like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins, and the Temple Mount will become a hill overgrown with brush!

The LORD who commands armies told me this:“ Many houses will certainly become desolate, large, impressive houses will have no one living in them.Indeed, a large vineyard will produce just a few gallons, and enough seed to yield several bushels will produce less than a bushel.”

At that time the sovereign master will use a razor hired from the banks of the Euphrates River, the king of Assyria, to shave the head and the pubic hair; it will also shave off the beard.At that time a man will keep alive a young cow from the herd and a couple of goats.From the abundance of milk they produce, he will have sour milk for his meals. Indeed, everyone left in the heart of the land will eat sour milk and honey.At that time every place where there had been a thousand vines worth a thousand shekels will be overrun with thorns and briers.With bow and arrow men will hunt there, for the whole land will be covered with thorns and briers.They will stay away from all the hills that were cultivated, for fear of the thorns and briers. Cattle will graze there and sheep will trample on them.

The whole land will be covered with brimstone, salt, and burning debris; it will not be planted nor will it sprout or produce grass. It will resemble the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the LORD destroyed in his intense anger.Then all the nations will ask,“ Why has the LORD done all this to this land? What is this fierce, heated display of anger all about?”Then people will say,“ Because they abandoned the covenant of the LORD, the God of their ancestors, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.They went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods they did not know and that he did not permit them to worship.That is why the LORD’s anger erupted against this land, bringing on it all the curses written in this scroll.So the LORD has uprooted them from their land in anger, wrath, and great rage and has deported them to another land, as is clear today.”

“ The people of Judah are in mourning. The people in her cities are pining away. They lie on the ground expressing their sorrow. Cries of distress come up to me from Jerusalem.The leading men of the cities send their servants for water. They go to the cisterns, but they do not find any water there. They return with their containers empty. Disappointed and dismayed, they bury their faces in their hands.They are dismayed because the ground is cracked because there has been no rain in the land. The farmers, too, are dismayed and bury their faces in their hands.Even the doe abandons her newborn fawn in the field because there is no grass.Wild donkeys stand on the hilltops and pant for breath like jackals. Their eyes are strained looking for food, because there is none to be found.”

You are awesome! Yes, you! Who can withstand your intense anger?

How long must the land be parched and the grass in every field be withered? How long must the animals and the birds die because of the wickedness of the people who live in this land? For these people boast,“ God will not see what happens to us.”
