Your (A)land is desolate;
Your cities are burned with fire;
Your fields—strangers are devouring them in your presence;
It is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard,
Like a watchman’s hut in a cucumber field, like a besieged city.
(B)Unless Yahweh of hosts
Had left us a few (C)survivors,
We would be like (D)Sodom,
We would be like Gomorrah.

11 Then I said, “Lord, (A)how long?” And He said,

“Until (B)cities are devastated and without inhabitant,
Houses are without people,
And the land is devastated to desolation,
12 And Yahweh has (C)removed men far away,
And the [a](D)forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
13 Yet there will be a tenth portion in it,
And it will again be subject to burning,
Like a terebinth or like an (E)oak
Whose stump remains when it is felled.
The (F)holy seed is its stump.”

And I will heal you of your wounds,’ declares Yahweh,

“It is Zion; no one is seeking her.”’
