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

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

But the rest of the earth will be deserted. The people who live in it have done many evil things.

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

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 the godly that all will be well for them. They will enjoy the rich reward they have earned!But the wicked are doomed, for they will get exactly what they deserve.

This entire land will become a desolate wasteland. Israel and her neighboring lands will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.

Therefore, they must eat the bitter fruit of living their own way, choking on their own schemes.

Because of you, Mount Zion will be plowed like an open field; Jerusalem will be reduced to ruins! A thicket will grow on the heights where the Temple now stands.

You have all wisdom and do great and mighty miracles. You see the conduct of all people, and you give them what they deserve.

My experience shows that those who plant trouble and cultivate evil will harvest the same.

“ Therefore, I will wound you! I will bring you to ruin for all your sins.

Then I said,“ Lord, how long will this go on?” And he replied,“ Until their towns are empty, their houses are deserted, and the whole country is a wasteland;until the Lord has sent everyone away, and the entire land of Israel lies deserted.If even a tenth— a remnant— survive, it will be invaded again and burned. But as a terebinth or oak tree leaves a stump when it is cut down, so Israel’s stump will be a holy seed.”

Don’t be misled— you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.

And I myself will punish you for your sinfulness, says the Lord. I will light a fire in your forests that will burn up everything around you.’”

But I, the Lord, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve.”

The earth will be completely emptied and looted. The Lord has spoken!The earth mourns and dries up, and the land wastes away and withers. Even the greatest people on earth waste away.The earth suffers for the sins of its people, for they have twisted God’s instructions, violated his laws, and broken his everlasting covenant.Therefore, a curse consumes the earth. Its people must pay the price for their sin. They are destroyed by fire, and only a few are left alive.The grapevines waste away, and there is no new wine. All the merrymakers sigh and mourn.The cheerful sound of tambourines is stilled; the happy cries of celebration are heard no more. The melodious chords of the harp are silent.

“ And when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then you will know that the time of its destruction has arrived.Then those in Judea must flee to the hills. Those in Jerusalem must get out, and those out in the country should not return to the city.For those will be days of God’s vengeance, and the prophetic words of the Scriptures will be fulfilled.How terrible it will be for pregnant women and for nursing mothers in those days. For there will be disaster in the land and great anger against this people.They will be killed by the sword or sent away as captives to all the nations of the world. And Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the period of the Gentiles comes to an end.

An evil man is held captive by his own sins; they are ropes that catch and hold him.

Reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

But the stump and roots of the tree were left in the ground. This means that you will receive your kingdom back again when you have learned that heaven rules.“‘ King Nebuchadnezzar, please accept my advice. Stop sinning and do what is right. Break from your wicked past and be merciful to the poor. Perhaps then you will continue to prosper.’

I will scatter you among the nations and bring out my sword against you. Your land will become desolate, and your cities will lie in ruins.Then at last the land will enjoy its neglected Sabbath years as it lies desolate while you are in exile in the land of your enemies. Then the land will finally rest and enjoy the Sabbaths it missed.As long as the land lies in ruins, it will enjoy the rest you never allowed it to take every seventh year while you lived in it.“ And for those of you who survive, I will demoralize you in the land of your enemies. You will live in such fear that the sound of a leaf driven by the wind will send you fleeing. You will run as though fleeing from a sword, and you will fall even when no one pursues you.Though no one is chasing you, you will stumble over each other as though fleeing from a sword. You will have no power to stand up against your enemies.You will die among the foreign nations and be devoured in the land of your enemies.Those of you who survive will waste away in your enemies’ lands because of their sins and the sins of their ancestors.
