The earth will become desolate because of its inhabitants, as the result of their deeds.

But the earth will be desolate because of its inhabitants, for the fruit of their deeds.

But the land will become empty and desolate because of the wickedness of those who live there.

Then the earth will become a wasteland because of its inhabitants and as a result of their actions.

And the earth will become a wasteland because of her inhabitants, On account of the fruit of their deeds.

Yet the land shall be desolate Because of those who dwell in it, And for the fruit of their deeds.

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

Then the earth will become a wasteland because of its inhabitants and as a result of their actions.

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

The earth will become desolate because of what its inhabitants have done.

Yet the land will be desolate because of those who dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.

Tell those who do what is right that things will go well with them. They will enjoy the results of the good things they’ve done.But how terrible it will be for those who do what is evil! Trouble is about to fall on them. They will be paid back for the evil things they’ve done.

This whole country will become dry and empty. And these nations will serve the king of Babylon for 70 years.

So you will eat the fruit of the way you have lived. You will choke on the fruit of what you have planned.

So because of what you have done, Zion will be plowed up like a field. Jerusalem will be turned into a pile of trash. The temple hill will be covered with bushes and weeds.

Your purposes are great. Your acts are mighty. Your eyes see everything people do. You reward each one of them in keeping with their conduct. You do this based on what they have done.

Here’s what I’ve observed. People gather a crop from what they plant. If they plant evil and trouble, that’s what they will harvest.

So I have begun to strike you down. I have begun to destroy you because you have sinned so much.

Then I said,“ Lord, how long will it be like that?” He answered,“ It will last until the cities of Israel are destroyed. It will last until no one is living in them. It will last until the houses are deserted. The fields will be completely destroyed.It will last until the Lord has sent everyone far away. The land will be totally deserted.Suppose only a tenth of the people remain there. Even then the land will be completely destroyed again. But when oak trees and terebinth trees are cut down, stumps are left. And my holy people will be like stumps that begin to grow again.”

Don’t be fooled. You can’t outsmart God. A man gathers a crop from what he plants.Some people plant to please their desires controlled by sin. From these desires they will harvest death. Others plant to please the Holy Spirit. From the Spirit they will harvest eternal life.

But I will punish you in keeping with what you have done,” announces the Lord.“ I will start a fire in your forests. It will burn down everything around you.” ’ ”

The Lord says,“ I look deep down inside human hearts. I see what is in people’s minds. I reward each person in keeping with their conduct. I bless them based on what they have done.”

The earth will be completely destroyed. Everything of value will be taken out of it. That’s what the Lord has said.The earth will dry up completely. The world will dry up and waste away. The heavens will fade away along with the earth.The earth is polluted by its people. They haven’t obeyed the laws of the Lord. They haven’t done what he told them to do. They’ve broken the covenant that will last forever.So the Lord will send a curse on the earth. Its people will pay for what they’ve done. They will be burned up. Very few of them will be left.The vines and fresh wine will dry up completely. Those who used to have a good time will groan.The happy sounds of tambourines will be gone. The noise of those who enjoy wild parties will stop. The joyful music of harps will become silent.

“ A time is coming when you will see armies surround Jerusalem. Then you will know that it will soon be destroyed.Those who are in Judea should then escape to the mountains. Those in the city should get out. Those in the country should not enter the city.This is the time when God will punish Jerusalem. Everything will come true, just as it has been written.How awful it will be in those days for pregnant women! How awful for nursing mothers! There will be terrible suffering in the land. There will be great anger against those people.Some will be killed by the sword. Others will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be taken over by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles come to an end.

Sinners are trapped by their own evil acts. They are held tight by the ropes of their sins.

Give her honor for all that her hands have done. Let everything she has done bring praise to her at the city gate.

But he gave a command to leave the stump of the tree along with its roots. That means your kingdom will be given back to you. It will happen when you recognize that the God of heaven rules.So, Your Majesty, I hope you will accept my advice. Stop being sinful. Do what is right. Give up your evil practices. Show kindness to those who are being treated badly. Then perhaps things will continue to go well with you.”

I will scatter you among the nations. I will pull out my sword and hunt you down. Your land and your cities will be completely destroyed.Then the deserted land will enjoy its sabbath years. It will rest. It will not be farmed. It will enjoy its sabbaths. But you will become prisoners in the country of your enemies.The land will rest the whole time it is deserted. It was not able to rest during the sabbaths you lived in it.“‘ Some of you will be left in the lands of your enemies. I will fill your hearts with fear. The sound of a leaf blown by the wind will scare you away. You will run as if you were escaping from swords. You will fall down, even though no one is chasing you.You will trip over one another as if you were running away from the battle. You will run away, even though no one is chasing you. You will not be able to stand and fight against your enemies.While you are still scattered among the nations, you will die. The lands of your enemies will destroy you.You who are left in those lands will become weaker and weaker. You will die because of your sins and the sins of your people who lived before you.
