1:17 But on Mount Zion there will be a remnant of those who escape,
and it will be a holy place once again.
The descendants
those who had conquered them.
1:7 All your allies
Your treaty partners
Your trusted friends
that will take you by surprise!
1:13 You should not have entered the city
You should not have joined
You should not have looted
1:14 You should not have stood at the fork in the road
You should not have captured their refugees when they suffered adversity.
1:5 “If thieves came to rob you
they would steal only as much as they wanted!
If grape pickers came to harvest your vineyards,
they would leave some behind for the poor!
But you will be totally destroyed!
1:11 You stood aloof
and foreigners advanced to his gates.
When they cast lots
you behaved as though you were in league
1:12 You should not
You should not have rejoiced over the people of Judah when they were destroyed.
You should not have boasted
1:16 For just as you
so all the nations will drink continually.
They will drink, and they will gulp down;
they will be as though they had never been.
1:20 The exiles of this fortress
will take possession
the people of Canaan, as far as Zarephath,
and the exiles of Jerusalem
will take possession of the towns of the Negev.
