“‘Adulterous wife, who prefers strangers instead of her own husband!

‘But I will take you out of the city. And I will hand you over to foreigners. I will execute judgments on you.

You will die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of foreigners; for I have spoken, declares the sovereign Lord.’”

I am about to bring foreigners against you, the most terrifying of nations. They will draw their swords against the grandeur made by your wisdom, and they will defile your splendor.

I will dry up the waterways and hand the land over to evil men. I will make the land and everything in it desolate by the hand of foreigners. I, the Lord, have spoken!

Foreigners from the most terrifying nations have cut it down and left it to lie there on the mountains. In all the valleys its branches have fallen, and its boughs lie broken in the ravines of the land. All the peoples of the land have departed from its shade and left it.
