so that your children of the generations to come, who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a distant land, when they see the plagues of that land and the sicknesses which Jehovah has laid upon it, shall utter:

And all the nations shall say, Why has Jehovah done thus unto this land? What is the meaning of this great burning anger?

for they went and served other gods and bowed down to them, gods that they had not known and that He had not apportioned to them.

And Jehovah uprooted them from their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.

then I will cut off Israel from the land which I have given them; and this house which I have consecrated for My name I will send away from before My face; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

Then they will answer, Because they have forsaken Jehovah their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken up with other gods, and bowed down to them and served them; therefore Jehovah has brought all this evil upon them.

And as for this lofty house, everyone who passes by it will be appalled and say, Why has Jehovah done thus to this land and this house?

to make their land desolate and a perpetual hissing. Everyone who passes by will be appalled, and will wag his head.

Jerusalem has grievously sinned, therefore she has become impure. All who honored her despise her because they have seen her nakedness; yea, she sighs and turns backward.

It casts him out without pity; he hastens to flee from its hand.

Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.

For thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because you clapped your hands, stamped your feet, and rejoiced in heart with all your contempt for the land of Israel,

There is no healing for your fracture; your wound is severe. All who hear the report of you shall clap their hands over you, for on whom has your wickedness not passed continually?

All your enemies have opened their mouth against you; they hiss and gnash the teeth; they say, We have swallowed her up. Certainly this is the day that we waited for. We have found it, we have seen it.

And I will make this city a desolation and a hissing. Everyone who passes by shall be amazed and shall hiss because of all its plagues.

behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, says Jehovah, and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant, and will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations all around. And I will completely destroy them, and make them a waste, and a hissing, and perpetual ruins.

Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, their kings and their rulers, to make them a desolation, a horror, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day;

And I will pursue them with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, and will make them objects of horror to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and a waste, and a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have driven them,

And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling place for dragons, a horror and a hissing, without inhabitant.

For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab. And you walk in their counsels, so that I may make you a desolation, and your inhabitants a hissing. And you shall bear the reproach of My people.

This is the joyous city, that dwelt confidently, who said in her heart, I am, and there is no other. How she has become a desolation, a place for animals to lie down. Everyone who passes near her shall hiss; he shall shake his hand.

This is the word which Jehovah has spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and laughed you to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem Has shaken her head behind you!

All who see Me mock Me; they shoot out the lip; they shake the head, saying,

You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.

My disgrace is daily before me, and the shame of my face has covered me,

this is the word which Jehovah has spoken concerning him: The virgin, the daughter of Zion, has despised you and laughed you to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head behind you.

to make their land desolate and a perpetual hissing. Everyone who passes by will be appalled, and will wag his head.

And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads

And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads and saying, Aha! You who destroy the temple and build it in three days,

And He has done violence to His pavilion like it were a garden, and has destroyed His meeting places. Jehovah has caused the appointed meetings and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and He has despised the king and the priest in the indignation of His anger.

Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the Great King.

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shone forth.

Our holy and beautiful house, where our fathers praised You, is burned up with fire; and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
