- "Your countryª [is] desolate,ª your citiesª [are] burnedª° with fire:ª your land,ª strangersª° devourª° it in your presence,¹ and [it is] desolate,ª as overthrownª by strangers.ª° ... And the daughterª of Zionª is leftª° as a cottageª in a vineyard,ª as a lodgeª in a garden of cucumbers,ª as a besiegedª° city.ª" {Isa 1:7-8} + "Behold,¹ the LORDª maketh the earth² empty,ª°¹ and maketh it waste,ª° and turneth²° it upside down,ª¹ and scattereth abroadª° the inhabitantsª° thereof." {Isa 24:1} + "The earthª mournethª° [and] fadeth away,ª° the worldª languishethª° [and] fadeth away,ª° the haughtyª peopleª of the earthª do languish.ª° ... Therefore¹¹ hath the curseª devouredª° the earth,ª and they that dwellª° therein are desolate:ª° therefore¹¹ the inhabitantsª° of the earthª are burned,ª° and fewª menª left.ª°" {Isa 24:4-6} + "The earthª is utterly²° broken down,ª° the earthª is clean²° dissolved,ª° the earthª is moved²° exceedingly.ª° ... The earthª shall reel²° to and froª° like a drunkard,ª and shall be removedª° like a cottage;ª and the transgressionª thereof shall be heavyª° upon¹ it; and it shall fall,ª° and not¹ riseª° again.ª°" {Isa 24:19-20} + "Destructionª upon¹ destructionª is cried;ª° for¹ the whole¹ landª is spoiled:ª° suddenlyª are my tentsª spoiled,ª° [and] my curtainsª in a moment.ª ... I beheld,ª° and, lo,¹ the fruitful placeª [was] a wilderness,ª and all¹ the citiesª thereof were broken downª° at the presenceª¹ of the LORD,ª [and] by¹¹ his fierceª anger.ª" {Jer 4:20-26}
