<p class="poetry">Indeed,<n id="1" /> you have made the city<n id="2" /> into a heap of rubble,p> <p class="poetry">the fortified town into a heap of ruins;p> <p class="poetry">the fortress of foreigners<n id="3" /> is no longer a city,p> <p class="poetry">it will never be rebuilt.p>

<p class="poetry">For the fortress is neglected;p> <p class="poetry">the once-crowded<n id="1" /> city is abandoned.p> <p class="poetry">Hill<n id="2" /> and watchtowerp> <p class="poetry">are permanently uninhabited.<n id="3" />p> <p class="poetry">Wild donkeys love to go there,p> <p class="poetry">and flocks graze there.<n id="4" />p>
