¹⁹ Say to the people of the land: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says about those living in Jerusalem and in the land of Israel: They will eat their food in anxiety and drink their water in despair, for their land will be stripped of everything^(A) in it because of the violence of all who live there.^(B)

²⁸ I will make the land a desolate waste, and her proud strength will come to an end, and the mountains^(A) of Israel will become desolate so that no one will cross them.^{(B) 29} Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I have made the land a desolate^(C) waste because of all the detestable things they have done.’^(D)
