- "How long¹¹ shall the landª mourn,ª° and the herbsª of every¹ fieldª wither,ª° for the wickednessª¹ of them that dwellª° therein? the beastsª are consumed,ª° and the birds;ª because¹ they said,ª° He shall not¹ seeª°¹ our last end.ª" {Jer 12:4} + "Judahª mourneth,ª° and the gatesª thereof languish;ª° they are blackª° unto the ground;ª and the cryª of Jerusalemª is gone up.ª° ... And the wild assesª did standª° in¹ the high places,ª they snuffed upª° the windª like dragons;ª their eyesª did fail,ª° because¹ [there was] no¹ grass.ª" {Jer 14:2-6} + "[And that] the whole¹ landª thereof [is] brimstone,ª and salt,ª [and] burning,ª [that] it is not¹ sown,ª° nor¹ beareth,ª° nor¹ any¹ grassª growethª° therein, like the overthrowª of Sodom,ª and Gomorrah,ª Admah,ª and Zeboim,ª which¹ the LORDª overthrewª° in his anger,ª and in his wrath:ª ... And the LORDª rooted²° them out¹ of¹¹ their landª in anger,ª and in wrath,ª and in greatª indignation,ª and castª° them into¹ anotherª land,ª as [it is] this¹ day.ª" {Deu 29:23-28} + "Thou,¹ [even] thou,¹ [art] to be feared:ª° and who¹ may standª° in thy sightª when² once¹¹ thou art angry?ª" {Psa 76:7} + "A fruitfulª landª into barrenness,ª for the wickednessª¹ of them that dwellª° therein." {Psa 107:34} + "In mine earsª [said] the LORDª of hosts,ª Of a truthª¹ manyª housesª shall be¹ desolate,ª [even] greatª and fair,ª without¹¹ inhabitant.ª° ... Yea,ª tenª acresª of vineyardª shall yieldª° oneª bath,ª and the seedª of an homerª shall yieldª° an ephah.ª" {Isa 5:9-10} + "In the same¹ dayª shall the Lordª shaveª° with a razorª that is hired,ª [namely], by them beyondª the river,ª by the kingª of Assyria,ª¹ the head,ª and the hairª of the feet:ª and it shall also¹ consumeª°¹ the beard.ª ... And [on] all¹ hillsª that¹ shall be diggedª° with the mattock,ª there shall not¹ come¹ thither²°¹ the fearª of briersª and thorns:ª but it shall be¹ for the sending forthª of oxen,ª and for the treadingª of lesser cattle.ª" {Isa 7:20-25} + "Therefore¹ shall Zionª for your sakeª be plowedª° [as] a field,ª and Jerusalemª shall become¹ heaps,ª and the mountainª of the houseª as the high placesª of the forest.ª" {Mic 3:12}
