31 And I shall indeed give YOUR cities to the sword+ and lay YOUR sanctuaries* desolate,+ and I shall not smell YOUR restful odors.+

7 I will also cut Israel off from upon the surface of the ground that I have given to them;+ and the house that I have sanctified to my name I shall throw away* from before me,+ and Israel will indeed become a proverbial saying+ and a taunt among all the peoples.

7 YOUR land is a desolation,+ YOUR cities are burned with fire;+ YOUR ground—right in front of YOU strangers+ are eating it up,+ and the desolation is like an overthrow by strangers.+

7 “I have left my house;+ I have deserted my inheritance;+ I have given the beloved one of my soul into the palm of her enemies.+

5 “‘But if YOU will not obey these words, by myself I do swear,’+ is the utterance of Jehovah, ‘that this house will become a mere devastated place.’+

12 Therefore on account of YOU men Zion will be plowed up as a mere field, and Jerusalem herself will become mere heaps of ruins,+ and the mountain of the house will be as the high places of a forest.
