- the desolate:
- "Thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª In the dayª that I shall have cleansedª° you from all¹¹ your iniquitiesª I will also cause [you] to dwellª°¹ in the cities,ª and the wastesª shall be builded.ª° ... And they shall say,ª° Thisª landª that was desolateª° is become¹ like the gardenª of Eden;ª and the wasteª and desolateª° and ruinedª° citiesª [are become] fenced,ª° [and] are inhabited.ª°" {Ezk 36:33-35} + "And fieldsª shall be boughtª° in this¹ land,ª whereof¹ ye¹ say,ª° [It¹ is] desolateª without¹¹ manª or beast;ª it is givenª° into the handª of the Chaldeans.ª ... Men shall buyª° fieldsª for money,ª and subscribeª° evidences,ª and sealª° [them], and takeª° witnessesª in the landª of Benjamin,ª and in the places aboutª Jerusalem,ª and in the citiesª of Judah,ª and in the citiesª of the mountains,ª and in the citiesª of the valley,ª and in the citiesª of the south:ª for¹ I will cause¹ their captivityª to return,ª° saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 32:43-44} + "Thus¹ saithª° the LORDª of hosts;ª Again¹ in this¹ place,ª which is desolateª without¹¹ manª and without¹ beast,ª and in all¹ the citiesª thereof, shall be¹ an habitationª of shepherdsª° causing [their] flocksª to lie down.ª° ... In the citiesª of the mountains,ª in the citiesª of the vale,ª and in the citiesª of the south,ª and in the landª of Benjamin,ª and in the places aboutª Jerusalem,ª and in the citiesª of Judah,ª shall the flocksª pass¹ again²°¹ under¹ the handsª of him that tellethª° [them], saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 33:12-13} + "Then the angelª of the LORDª answeredª° and said,ª° O LORDª of hosts,ª how long¹¹ wilt thou¹ not¹ have mercy²° on¹¹ Jerusalemª and on the citiesª of Judah,ª against which¹ thou hast had indignationª° these¹ threescore and tenª years?ª" {Zch 1:12} + "Cryª° yet,¹ saying,ª° Thus¹ saithª° the LORDª of hosts;ª My citiesª through prosperityª¹ shall yet¹ be spread abroad;ª° and the LORDª shall yet¹ comfortª°¹ Zion,ª and shall yet¹ chooseª° Jerusalem.ª" {Zch 1:17}
