9 He burned down the house of Jehovah,+ the king’s house,*+ and all the houses of Jerusalem;+ he also burned down the house of every prominent man.+ 10 And the walls surrounding Jerusalem were pulled down by the entire Chal·deʹan army that was with the chief of the guard.+

 7 Your land is desolate.

Your cities are burned with fire.

Foreigners devour your land right in front of you.+

It is like a wasteland overthrown by foreigners.+

He has gone out from his place to make your land an object of horror.

Your cities will be reduced to ruins, without an inhabitant.+
