⁶ I will ^(A)lay it waste;
It will not be pruned nor hoed,
But briars and thorns will come up.
I will also command the clouds not to ^(B)rain on it.”

⁸ Also the ^(A)high places of Aven, the ^(B)sin of Israel, will be destroyed;
^(C)Thorns and thistles will grow on their altars;
Then they will ^(D)say to the mountains,
“Cover us!” And to the hills, “Fall on us!”
