10 (A)The whole land shall be turned into a plain from (B)Geba to (C)Rimmon south of Jerusalem. But (D)Jerusalem shall remain aloft (E)on its site from (F)the Gate of Benjamin to the place of the former gate, to (G)the Corner Gate, and from (H)the Tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses. 11 And it shall be inhabited, for (I)there shall never again be a decree of utter destruction.[a] (J)Jerusalem shall dwell in security.

12 And this shall be (K)the plague with which the Lord will strike all the peoples that wage war against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.

Jerusalem will be secure.(I)
