9 Jehovah of armies has sworn in my ears

That many houses, though great and beautiful,

Will become an object of horror,

Without an inhabitant.+

“Until the cities crash in ruins without an inhabitant

And the houses are without people

And the land is ruined and desolate;+

15 Against him young lions* roar;+

They have raised their voice.

11 I will make Jerusalem piles of stones,+ the lair of jackals,+

And I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.+
