5:14 “I will make you desolate and an object of scorn among the nations around you, in the sight of everyone who passes by.
24:1 Look, the Lord is ready to devastate the earth
and leave it in ruins;
he will mar its surface
and scatter its inhabitants.
24:2 Everyone will suffer – the priest as well as the people,
the master as well as the servant,
the elegant lady as well as the female attendant,
the seller as well as the buyer,
the borrower as well as the lender,
the creditor as well as the debtor.
24:3 The earth will be completely devastated
and thoroughly ransacked.
For the Lord has decreed this judgment.
24:4 The earth
the world shrivels up and withers;
the prominent people of the earth
24:5 The earth is defiled by
for they have violated laws,
disregarded the regulation,
and broken the permanent treaty.
24:6 So a treaty curse
its inhabitants pay for their guilt.
This is why the inhabitants of the earth disappear,
and are reduced to just a handful of people.
24:7 The new wine dries up,
the vines shrivel up,
all those who like to celebrate
24:8 The happy sound
the revelry of those who celebrate comes to a halt,
the happy sound of the harp ceases.
24:9 They no longer sing and drink wine;
the beer tastes bitter to those who drink it.
24:10 The ruined town
all of the houses are shut up tight.
24:11 They howl in the streets because of what happened to the wine;
all joy turns to sorrow;
celebrations disappear from the earth.
24:12 The city is left in ruins;
the gate is reduced to rubble.
32:13 Mourn
which is overgrown with thorns and briers,
and over all the once-happy houses
in the city filled with revelry.
32:14 For the fortress is neglected;
the once-crowded
Hill
are permanently uninhabited.
Wild donkeys love to go there,
and flocks graze there.
64:10 Your chosen
Zion has become a desert,
Jerusalem
2:15 Like lions his enemies roar victoriously over him;
they raise their voices in triumph.
They have laid his land waste;
his cities have been burned down and deserted.
9:11 The Lord said,
“I will make Jerusalem
Jackals will make their home there.
I will destroy the towns of Judah
so that no one will be able to live in them.”
10:22 Listen! News is coming even now.
The rumble of a great army is heard approaching
It is coming to turn the towns of Judah into rubble,
places where only jackals live.
3:12 Therefore, because of you,
Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins,
and the Temple Mount
1:2 “I will destroy
1:3 “I will destroy people and animals;
I will destroy the birds in the sky
and the fish in the sea.
(The idolatrous images of these creatures will be destroyed along with evil people.)
I will remove
1:4 “I will attack
and all who live in Jerusalem.
I will remove
as well as the very memory
1:5 I will remove
those who swear allegiance to the Lord
1:6 and those who turn their backs on
and do not want the Lord’s help or guidance.”
1:18 Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them
in the day of the Lord’s angry judgment.
The whole earth
Indeed,
3:6 “I destroyed
their walled cities
I turned their streets into ruins;
no one passes through them.
Their cities are desolate;
no one lives there.
