¹² Therefore because of you
    ^(A)Zion shall be plowed as a field;
Jerusalem ^(B)shall become a heap of ruins,
    and ^(C)the mountain of the house ^(D)a wooded height.

²⁶ Come against her from every quarter;
    open her granaries;
^(A)pile her up like heaps of grain, and devote her to destruction;
    let nothing be left of her.

² Therefore, behold, the days are coming,
    declares the Lord,
when I will cause ^(A)the battle cry to be heard
    against ^(B)Rabbah of the Ammonites;
it shall become a desolate ^(C)mound,
    and its villages shall be burned with fire;
then Israel shall dispossess those who dispossessed him,
    says the Lord.

^11 (A)I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins,
    ^(B)a lair of jackals,
^(C)and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation,
    without inhabitant.”

² For you have made the city ^(A)a heap,
    the fortified city a ruin;
the foreigners' palace is a city no more;
    it will never be rebuilt.
