25 Have you not heard?
    From long ago I have determined it,
    from the days of old I have planned it,
    and now I am bringing it to pass.
It shall be turned into a pile of rocks;
    fortified cities are ruined.
26 Their inhabitants, short of hand, shall be dismayed;
    and they shall be ashamed.
They have become green plants of the open field,

    green grass of the roof
    and blight before the standing grain.
27 Your sitting, your going out, and your coming in I know,
    and your raging against me.

    and when you come and go
    and how you rage against me.
